Becoming a Bar Mitzvah

 

 

A Treasury of Stories

Our diversity, our similarities,

our pride, and our passions

Arnine Cumsky Weiss has gathered stories from across the globe documenting this beautiful unique ritual that is ours alone. The book emphasizes the length to which people have traveled to ensure their children experience this same "rite of passage" that is the right of every Jewish boy. There is a thrilling depth of meaning that is held for this act of "becoming a man", and depending on the level of observance, becoming a Bar Mitzvah is most often the cord that connects a man to his Judaism.
