Bat Mitzvah Celebration for 5 Girls and Their Mothers!

Old Bridge, NJ — A Bat Mitzvah celebration was held at Bris Avrohom of Old Bridge on Sunday, May 27th. Five girls who had been attending the Chaya Esther Hebrew School program at Bris Avrohom for several years participated in this commencement celebration with their close family and friends in attendance. Previously, each young lady was formally given her Hebrew name in a naming ceremony held during the Torah reading of Shabbat morning services.

The girls spent the last year in Hebrew School focusing their learning on the specific role of women in Judaism. They completed in depth reports based on months of learning and research. At the program, each girl spoke about what she had learned and thanked her parents and Bris Avrohom for their years of dedicated guidance. Awards were handed out and each Bat Mitzvah girl received a silver candlestick. The program included a lavish luncheon, speeches by Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky, Executive Director of Bris Avrohom, and Rabbi Yossi Kanelsky, Regional Director and a poignant talk by one girl’s mother who felt that she, herself, had become a Bat Mitzvah that day as well. It was a meaningful and beautiful event.
