Caring for the Cycle of Life:

 BAR/BAT MITZVAH    [HEBREW}

[CCL Thumbnail]
Taken from "Caring for the Cycle of Life"
Becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah means becoming a son (bar) or daughter (bat) of "the commandment" (mitzvah). Traditionally understood as a time of taking on Jewish responsibilities, Bar/Bat Mitzvah is a time to ask yourself: What responsibilities do I have? To whom am I responsible--myself, my family, my community, other creatures, the land, the Creator of all? Your Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a time to reflect on your place in the world around you.

During your Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony, you will have the opportunity to speak to your family and your community about your vision of what being a responsible Jewish adult means. Express your concern and caring for the Earth. Talk about why you believe protecting the Earth is an important, Jewish thing to do!

 [Torah]
