“No jf02, We would not ask you if you were a guy because Jewish women do not make a big Bat celebration, do not say a public Dvar, and do not lein. Jewish women that follow Judaism that is, not necessarily ‘claim’ to follow Judaism.
And before you even ask, no we are not living in the 21st century. We are living in the 58th century, light years ahead of the evil feminist movement. “
With due respect, Joseph. You are mistaken. SOME people perhaps do not make a celebration (and they are wrong in my opinion, because the reaching of that age is just as important for a girl as it is to be Bar mitzvah for a boy, and it should be treated with the chashivus it deserves), but so many others do, even in the “frummer” circles (whatever that really means). Even in many Yeshivas, the schools themselves mark the occasions of the Bas mitzvahs, by making an all-inclusive school party for the entire grade, giving the girls some type of sefer, often a Tehillim, inscribed with their name, and the girls make a d’var Torah.
