A Bar / Bat Mitzvah is a momentous occasion in a family's life. This event commemorates the day on which, according to Jewish tradition, a young person says farewell to childhood. This is the day that a boy, on the completion of his thirteenth year, and a girl, on the completion of her twelfth year, become responsible for their actions spiritually, ethically, and morally. Years of study and long preparation are what a young boy or girl endure in order to become bar or bat mitzvah.

Capturing this important religious event, when permitted, and the celebration that follows make this day a memorable one for years to come. It is one of the proudest days in a parent's, as well as a child's life.
