Congregation Irnai

ontrary to what
most Jewish pre-
teens think,
becoming a bar
or bat mitzvah is not con- •
tingent upon a year of
Torah study and a formal
celebration with family
and friends.
It is an automatic hap-
pening, occurring at age
13 for boys and 12 or 13
for girls, dependent upon
the Jewish denomination.
Translated as "son or
daughter of the command-
ment," becoming b'nai
mitzvah is the marking of
the obligations and rights
that include leading reli-
gious services and being
counted in a minyan.
But tradition has it that
most Jewish Americans
mark the milestone with a
first calling to the Torah
and a party of varying for-
mality, making a memory
O that will forever stay in
their minds.
- For Paul Kohn, his
bar/bat mitzvah involve-
ment these days is as
owner of Quality Kosher
Catering in Southfield.
