Hello world it is me ethant36 today I will be talking about the responsibilities of becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
When you become Bar or Bat mitzvah, you become a Jewish adult. You have to become responsible for your actions, honor the old community members, honor your parents, not take revenge, not shame other people, help your neighbor in need, not talk badly about someone and give tzedakah to the poor. The religious responsibilities include
- You can be in a minyan (a group of 10 males that is needed to recite certain prayers or any people over the age of bar mitzvah in less religious communities)
- Keep Shabbat (Don’t work)
- Keep Kosher
- Fast on Yom Kippur
- Light the shabbat candles (Usually women)
- You can have an aliyah
