Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This revision of Metter's 1984 book, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah: How Jewish Boys and Girls Come of Age, describes a typical ceremony and explains how this custom began for boys during the Middle Ages and how it was adapted for girls beginning in 1922. He also discusses the recent custom of adult bar and bat mitzvahs and celebratory parties. The writing is clear and concise; ink illustrations (not all seen) help to break up the text and will be informative, especially for readers not familiar with these ceremonies. The sections detailing bar and bat mitzvah memories of the rich and famous (particularly their parties) will appeal to kids; those looking for a more spiritual view of this topic may prefer Eric Kimmel's Bar Mitzvah: A Jewish Boy's Coming of Age (1997) or its companion, Bat Mitzvah: A Jewish Girl's Coming of Age (1997), by Barbara Goldin Diamond. Appended with a bibliography, Web sites, and source notes. Weisman, Kay --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
