This insightful podcast provides a look into a coming of age ceremony that will have resonance for many religions and faith based people. This unique analysis of the Bar and Bat Mitzvah in Jewish tradition brings multiple perspectives and voices in what is already proving to be a powerful new lens on a relatively new ritual resting on thousands of years of tradition.

As a rabbi and as a parent of a 12.5 year old boy, I highly recommend this podcast. You will hear from teens and experts on teens, in the Jewish world and beyond, about how to move through these years and through the beginning of adolescence with more ease, joy, and meaning.

This would have been so helpful to me when I was going through the bnai mitzvah process with my children. The podcast offers a fresh perspective on the issues and I loved hearing what the teens think!

I wish I had this podcast a few years ago when we were planning my daughter's bat mitzvah! I love the diversity of perspectives and the host Sara Ivry is fantastic. If you know someone planning a bar or bat mitzvah, share this show - it will help them relieve their stress and get the most out of the celebration.

Thought provoking and smart from a variety of perspectives. As a parent going through this process I look forward to more.
