A Bat Mitzvah is a the day a girl becomes a woman in the eyes of the jewish community. Bat mitzvah literally means "daughter of the commandment." During the ceremony there are four blessings, three made by family member and one made by the bat mitzvah herself. The bat mitzvah picks a section from the torah and reads it to the entire congreation of friends and family. Boys go throught the same tradition only they are called a Bar Mitzvah, "son of the commandment."
