Daughters- Of The Commandments

Continued from Paged 24

therefore their involvement
in synagogue has not been
part of the Jewish practice.
"There is an important
distinction in the Orthodox
community. We do not view
bat mitzvah as a rite of
passage. It is an acceptance of
the mandate of what it means
to be a Jew. This means the
acceptance of the command-
ments of the Torah."
Jessica will become a bat
mitzvah at age 12. "General-
ly, girls reach a level of
understanding and maturity
a year ahead of boys," Rabbi
Goldberg continues, noting
that a bar mitzvah boy at
Young Israel reads from the
Torah and leads all or part of
the service.
Rabbi Goldberg says his
congregation offers a Dvar
Torah for girls because it feels
some recognition is ap-
propriate. "We make mention
of a bat mitzvah to make her
feel the strength of her con-
nection to her Torah life.
"We don't believe a Jewish
woman becomes a better
Jewish woman in proportion
to the size of the ceremony or
the size of her party. People
can feel if a celebration is a
sincere expression of the
beginning - of the search of
Jewish identity. The size of
the celebration does not
strengthen the Jewish quali-
ty of the celebration."
As a student at Hillel Day
School, Jessica divides her
studies equally between
Hebrew and English. She

studies with Rabi Goldberg
once a week and spends
several hours a week study-
ing at home and preparing
her presentation.
According to Rabbi
Goldberg, about 90 percent of
the students at Young Israel
continue to attend synagogue
services and continue their
intense Jewish education
following bar or bat mitzvah.
Speaking on Orthodox con-
victions, Rabbi Goldberg says,
"We do not view religion as
being peripheral to us.
Judaism is a philosophy of
life. It integrates itself into
every aspect of our life.
"We emphasize that it
takes more than a ritual and
a few customs to be a Jew. It
takes a search of finding God,
which begins seriously at bar
and bat mitzvah."
Rabbi Goldberg says a bat
mitzvah will learn the con-
tent of the Torah and spend
time learning the aspects of
the mitzvot of women.
After her bat mitzvah,
Jessica says she will be ex-
pected to attend synagogue
regularly and fast on fast
days. "She will be expected to
follow all the command-
ments,' Rabbi Goldberg adds.
"It will become her respon-
sibility and not her parents. "
In our practice as Orthodox
Jews we do mitzvot as a rule,"
said Judith Kirzner, Jessica's
mother. "Religion is part of
our fabric. It is our way of
life." ❑
