Bar Mitzvahs

The Bar Mitzvah, Hebrew for “son of commandment, takes place when a Jewish boy reaches the age of thirteen. Once he turns thirteen, he steps into all the responsibilities of a Jewish adult, primarily the commandments (or mitzvahs) of the Torah.

Birthdays

Jewish birthdays are often marked with a mix of reflection, good deeds, and personal growth, rather than elaborate parties. While there’s no specific, mandated tradition, reflecting on the past year and setting intentions for the next, and expressing gratitude. 

Weddings

Jewish weddings are filled with rich traditions and symbolism, often including a marriage contract (ketubah), a chuppah (wedding canopy), blessings, and the breaking of glass.
