Barmitzvah

Dear Readers,

I am so excited for October 9, 2010. Not because it is my dad's birthday, not because it is close to halloween, but because it is my older brother's barmitzvah! Thirteen year old boys in the Jewish religon become a barmitzvah. Thirteen year old girls become a batmitzvah. What that means is that person will become an adult, which means, they can drink wine, im not saying they want to! They can also become a mentor in Hebrew School. Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are one of the most inportant days of our (jewish people) life. We have to study for many years and, then at our Bar or Bat Mitzvahs, we say what we have practiced in front of many people.

Thank you for taking your time for reading this!
