Q: If you are getting Bat-Mitzvahed what are the age ranges?
A: According to halacha, a boy is called to the Torah as a bar mitzvah at the age of thirteen and this was considered the age of moral adulthood. Historically, girls were not called to the torah, and were considered morally responsible for their own behavior at the age of twelve and a half. Today, in liberal congregations, young people are usually called to the torah around their thriteenth birthday. Anytime after that is acceptible as well and many adults are "belatedly" called to the Torah. Whether a person reads publically from the Torah at age thirteen, the is still the age of moral majority in the Jewish tradition. |
