Bat Mitzvah gift giving
 Girls become Bat Mitzvah, a daughter of the commandment, at age 12, a year earlier than boys become Bar Mitzvah. At this time, a girl is considered to have reached adulthood according to Jewish law and can fully participate in rituals and community events. She is also considered to be old enough to take full responsibility for her actions and religious obligations, a responsibility that formerly fell on her parents.
No ceremony or celebration is required to become Bat Mitzvah; it is automatically conferred by virtue of age. Though no ritual celebration is required, reaching Bat Mitzvah is often marked by a ceremony in which the celebrant chants a blessing and reads the Torah and haftarah selections at synagogue. During the service, a girl may choose to don a tallit, or Jewish prayer shawl, for the first time. A fairly extensive educational program, in which a child learns about Jewish history and the Hebrew language, often precedes the ceremony, though such education is not required by Jewish law.
In modern years, the ceremony is often followed by a luncheon or other celebration. This party is meant to celebrate the Bat Mitzvah's new responsibility, as well as the fact that her parents are no longer accountable for her actions according to Jewish law. It is customary for a guest to bring a Bat Mitzvah gift. Judaica jewelry or art are commonly given to commemorate the event. At Kolbo.com, you will find a wide selection of suitable gifts, including music, beautiful and meaningful necklaces, and more. We also have gift certificates.
Tallit: Jewish prayer shawl
 Talitot are garments worn during morning services, during the Torah service, and on Yom Kippur. Though a woman is not required to wear a tallit according to Jewish law, and may be forbidden from doing so in some denominations, many women choose to wear one. The Jewish prayer shawl is a four-cornered cloak with specially twined and knotted fringes, known as tzitzit, on each corner. A tallit is a cherished personal effect that is treated with great care. Because talitot are considered very special, meaningful garments, they are often given by parents to their children as a Bat Mitzvah gift. Kolbo.com offers beautiful, hand-crafted talitot in a range of styles and colors. We are sure you will find the perfect one for the Bat Mitzvah in your life. Browse our extensive Judaica shop online.
