Life Lesson I Learned getting prepared for My Bar Mitzvah
Being Bar mitzvah is a big honor in the jewish religion. A Bar Mitzvah is a solemn ceremony held in the synagogue to admit as an adult member of the Jewish community a Jewish boy 13 years old who has successfully completed a prescribed course of study in Judaism.
It took a lot of preparation for this big day. I had to learn a whole new language in less than a year and I needed to write a speech about what I learned from reading my half-torah portion. The hardest part about this was writing the speech. I had to explain to everyone what my torah portion meant to me and what I learned from that.

I started to meet with my rabbi once a week to start talking about the meaning of my torah story that I learned to read.

But my half-torah portion had one of the deepest meanings to me. My half-torah portion was talking about punishing the jewish people because they punished and wished bad on the egyptians even though they enslaved the jewish people. God told us that even though the egyptians were doing the wrong thing first doesn’t make it right for us to cause so much pain and horror to them. Me and my rabi discussed about how even though the egyptians were in the wrong it didn’t make it right for us to cause so much pain. The jewish people did deserve to find justice which they did but not in that way. So once I understood the story and found my own meaning to it, I started to write my speech about it.
Having my bar mitzvah was a very special and a great learning moment. But talking to the rabi and understand my half-torah was the biggest part of this special tradition for me. The story everything. Even though the jewish people deserved justice and equality, they could have tried to do it better and not have killed all the firstborn children. It taught me that every decision you make will always have an effect on you for a long time no
