Responsibilities of Bar/Bat Mitzvah

The past semester, the Grade 6 class has been studying the Responsibilities of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. When becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah you get all of the responsibilities of any Jewish adult like how now we can read from the Torah and have a say in our Jewish community. The reason that tallit are important is because the fringes represent the 613 mitzvot. As for tefillin represent the way we serve g-d. Our head is our thoughts and our arm is our actions. One thing that I found very interesting was the reasoning why Bat mitzvah occur earlier. It is said that generally, females develop sooner than males. Another reason is Moses gained an oral tradition from G-d on Mount Sinai that explained this gap.

Thank you for reading!
