Hi!

In our Jewish studies classes we learned about bar/bat mitzvah.

When you reach the age of bar/bat mitzvah many things change in your life, like you are now responsible for your actions, like if you break a law you are responsible not your parents like before. You also become an adult so now you are not to talk bad about anybody or take revenge. Boys when they reach the age of bar mitzvah must use a tefillin and a tallit. a tefillin is made to signal that you believe in God with your mind and your heart. A tallit has fringes that reminded us about all the commandments so we can remember to preform all the commandments. The fringes have this special blue dye that I found interesting because before they used to believe that the sea snail that made this dye only every 70 years.

I hope you found that interesting here are some photos…
