Young Jews are formally welcomed to the Judaism culture and religious gatherings starting from the day they participate in their very own Bar Mitzvah
. This is a significant event in the life of children that is why celebrating it in a place where it all began is very ideal. Book your tickets and your tours now in order to celebrate Bar Mitzvah with your children in Israel.
One of the most popular places to hold a Bar Mitzvah is at the Wailing Wall. It is a Holy Site for the Jews. This is where they say their prayers knowing that the Higher Being will be listening to them in this Holy Place. The Wailing Wall or the Western Wall is able to accommodate Bar Mitzvah every Monday and Thursday mornings only.
Here, the child can read from the Torah. It is customary for the child celebrating his or her Bar Mitzvah to wear tefillin. The men are also separated from the women during the entire ceremony. It is important to follow such customs in order not to offend the more traditional people in the area.
If you would like a less traditional celebration of Israel Bar Mitzvah, you can go to the Southern Wall. It is not less holy as the Western Wall, mind you. Here, you can perform the Bar Mitzvah to you and your rabbis tradition. Men and women can sit together as well as pray together.
If the child is a fan of artifacts and sacred documents, then have your Israel Bar Mitzvah in an establishment that houses such documents and artifacts. Try and book a Bar Mitzvah at the Tower of David Museum. This is located in the heart of Jerusalem. If you book way in advance, you might just reserve a date. The celebration will be held at the scenic archeological garden of the museum.
Other places you can consider for an Israel Bar Mitzvah are Neot Kedumim, the synagogues or at the Masada. Ask your travel agencies to arrange the event for you. If you have relatives in Israel, it would be more convenient and cost-effective if they can handle the arrangements.
