In the Jewish religion, when a boy reaches 13, he is BarMitzvah’d. For a girl though, it’s usually at 12 when she is BatMitzvah’d. Those that do it have a service in Synagogue where they read out a practised portion from the Torah. Then a party that night for friends and family.
my great niece Maya, turned 12 in March. She’s had a bad year as was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and PDA (Pathalogical demand avoidance), and dyslexia last year. Not been to school and has a therapist once a week. Some days she’s not able to get out of the house although that’s now improving, but had not gone to any of her friend’s celebrations, although wanted to, but was too overwhelmed to make it.
she said she couldn’t manage a synagogue service, but felt bad about it.
with a week’s notice (and after meeting with the Rabbi’s wife at home a few times, she said she’d like something), my niece and hubby managed to get a great magician, sort food, decorations, get Maya a dress (not easy as she’s sensory issues) and had us close family over. The rabbi and his wife came, did the blessings and gave a wonderful speech about her.
a great achievement for her, when at times hasn’t come out of her room
just 2 pics. One of my niece, hubby and Maya and her bro.
