1 BAR MITZVAH SERVICE FOR [NAME-ENGLISH] [NAME-HEBREW] TEMPLE [NAME] RABBI [NAME] JUNE 9, SIVAN 5767

2 WELCOME TO THE BAR MITZVAH OF [NAME ENGLISH] JUNE 9, SIVAN 5767 TEMPLE [NAME] RABBI [NAME] MUSIC: [cantor] Oseh Shalom sung by [family members] OPENING AND CLOSING THE ARK: [family members] HANDING-DOWN CEREMONY: [family members] UNDRESSING AND DRESSING THE TORAH: [family members] TORAH BLESSINGS: [family members] RAISING AND HOLDING THE TORAH: [guest] READERS: [family members and guest] USHERS: [family member and guest] We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many people who have helped us prepare for this important occasion: Rabbi [name] and [names of Hebrew teachers], and all of [student s] Sunday School teachers. In addition, we would like to express our appreciation to family and friends who have traveled many miles to join us in this celebration. DEDICATION: I would like to dedicate my becoming a Bar Mitzvah to my grandfather, [name]. He is always so happy to just talk to me. He has also been there for me my whole life. If anything is ever making me sad, I can talk to him about it. He has talked to me about the importance of education and instilled in me a love of reading. When he was a young man he didn't have the opportunity to become a Bar Mitzvah, so this event is especially important to him. Well Grandpa - thank you so much for everything you ve done for me, this service is for you. 1

3 About the Service Welcome! It gives us great pleasure to be joined by family and friends to celebrate [name] becoming a Bar Mitzvah. This brief guide is intended to explain some of the customs and objects used in the service and sanctuary. Today [name] is celebrating his Bar Mitzvah, his symbolic passage from childhood to adulthood. Bar Mitzvah is both a serious and happy occasion. [name] has studied long and hard to prepare for today. A Mitzvah is a commandment from God to the Jewish people. A Bar Mitzvah means son of a commandment. [name] is now ready to perform Mitzvot (Commandments) and assume the responsibilities of faith. By becoming a Bar Mitzvah, [name] is following one of God's commandments to young men to lead the community in prayer. As a young adult he is considered ready to perform more Mitzvot and assume the responsibilities of Judaism. He is permitted to read from the Torah, but is also accountable for his actions and moral conduct. Similarly, he is expected to pass on the traditions, practices and teachings of Judaism to his children. The Bar Mitzvah service includes reading from the Torah. The Torah is the central pillar and holiest document in Judaism. The Torah contains the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The Torah is stored in the Ark. The Torah also contains the early history of the Jewish people as well as the tenets of our faith - the Ten Commandments and laws. Each Torah is handwritten in Hebrew by a scribe writing with a quill and natural ink onto a sheepskin parchment. It is rolled into a double scroll. No vowels or punctuation marks are used in the Torah text. Variations in handwriting as well as the absence of vowels and punctuation marks creates a challenge for the celebrant preparing for and performing his Bar Mitzvah service. The Torah is read through on an annual cycle. Each fall the reading of the Torah commences with Genesis and concludes with the final words of Deuteronomy. Every week all Jewish congregations throughout the world read the exact same portion of the Torah. This is one of the many traditions, which links all Jews. When the Torah is removed from and returned to the Ark, the congregation will stand. [name] and the Rabbi will be joined by his family on the Bima - the special area in front of the Ark at the front of the sanctuary. At the back of the Bima, above the Ark, is the Ner Tamid - the Eternal Light. The Ner Tamid burns continuously in synagogues worldwide. It is a symbol of everlasting faith and the Light of Learning. On the Bima, the Torah is symbolically passed from one generation to the next, symbolizing the link of traditions, duty, compassion, faith, and study. Then [name] will carry the Torah through the sanctuary, demonstrating that he is mature enough to be trusted with the Torah. As a sign of reverence some people may touch the Torah with their prayer books or shawls. After the procession is completed, family members are called up for each Aliyah to recite the Torah blessings. Aliyah means ascent. It is considered an honor to perform an Aliyah. The Aliyah has to be performed by an adult. Our prayer book, the Siddur, is written in both Hebrew and English. Pages are 2

4 traditionally numbered from right to left, just as Hebrew is read from right to left. The congregation participates in the ceremony by reading aloud the italicized English text. For your convenience, we have prepared a Bar Mitzvah booklet containing all necessary portions of the service and it is numbered from front to back. After the Torah reading is completed, [name] will read from the Haftarah. Haftarah means conclusion. Reading the Haftarah completes the reading of the Bible. At the very end of the service, we will recite the Kiddush - the blessing for the wine, and the Motzi the blessing for the Challah (bread) and then gather at the back of the sanctuary. Please join us for a snack after the blessing. Thank you for sharing this special day with us. [names of family members] 3

6 Presentation of Tallit [names of father and mother] The Tallit On Sabbath, the most precious of days, our ancestors dressed in their finest clothes as a sign of honor and respect. Each adult also wore a special garment - a Tallit (Ta-leet) or fringed prayer shawl - as they entered the temple to pray. The Tallit is worn by adult Jews to fulfill the commandment, "You shall place fringes on the corners of your garments... so that you will remember my commandments and do them." Each Tallit has 613 knots representing the 613 commandments in the Torah. We present [name] with this Tallit on the occasion of his becoming a Bar Mitzvah. It symbolizes his entrance into the adult Jewish community and links [name] with his heritage and faith. בּ רוּך אַתּ ה, י י א ל ה ינוּ, מ ל ך ה עוֹל ם, א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁנוּ בּ מ צ וֹת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ת ע טּ ף בּ צּ יצ ת. Blessed is the Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who hallows us with His Mitzvot and commands us to wrap ourselves in the fringed Tallit. אַ שׁ ר י יוֹשׁב י ב ית ך: עוֹד י ה ל לוּך סּ ל ה. אַשׁ ר י ה ע ם שׁ כּ כ ה לּוֹ: אַשׁ ר י ה ע ם שׁ י י א ל ה יו. אשרי Happy are those who dwell in Your house. They will sing Your praise forever. Happy the people to whom such blessing falls. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. 5

Your faithful shall bless You. ה ד ר כּ בוֹד הוֹד ך, ו ד ב ר י נ פ ל א ת יך אָשׂ יח ה ו ע זוּז נוֹר אוֹת יך י אמ רוּ, וּג ד לּ ת ך א ס פּ ר נּה. ז כ ר ר ב-טוּב ך י בּ יעוּ, ו צ ד ק ת ך י ר נּ נוּ. ח נּוּן ו ר חוּם י י, א ר ך אַפּ י ם וּג ד ל-ח ס ד. טוֹב- י י ל כּל, ו ר ח מ יו ע ל-כּ ל-מ ע שׂ יו. יוּדוּך י י כּ ל-מ ע שׂ י ך, ו ח ס יד יך י ב ר כוּכ ה. 6

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and tell of Your strength: to reveal Your power to the world, and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; Your dominion endures through all generations. מ ל כוּת ך מ ל כוּת כּ ל-עוֹל מ ים, וּמ מ שׁ ל תּ ך בּ כ ל-דּוֹר ו ד ר. Lord, You support the falling; You raise up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all are turned to You; You sustain them in time of need. You open Your hand to fulfill the needs of all the living. Lord, You are just in all Your paths, loving in all Your deeds. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the hope of all who revere Him; He will hear their cry and help them. סוֹמ ך י י ל כ ל-ה נ פ ל ים, ו זוֹק ף ל כ ל-ה כּ פוּפ ים. ע ינ י כ ל א ל יך י שׂ בּ רוּ, ו אַתּ ה נוֹתּ ן-ל ה ם א ת-אָכ ל ם בּ ע תּוֹ. פּוֹת ח א ת-י ד ך וּמ שׂ בּ יע ל כ ל-ח י ר צוֹן. צ ד יק י י בּ כ ל-דּ ר כ יו, ו ח ס יד בּ כ ל-מ ע שׂ יו. ק רוֹב י י ל כ ל-ק ר אָיו, ל כ ל א שׁ ר י ק ר א הוּ ב א מ ת. ר צוֹן-י ר אָיו י ע שׂ ה, ו א ת-שׂ ו ע ת ם י שׁ מ ע ו יוֹשׁ יע ם.

9 My lips shall declare the glory of the Lord; let all flesh bless His holy name forever and ever. We will bless the Lord now and always. Halleluyah! Your righteousness is everlasting and Your Torah is truth. O Lord of Hosts, happy is the one who trusts in You. Blessed are those who trust in God, who make the Lord their refuge. תּ ה לּ ת י י י ד בּ ר-פּ י ו יב ר ך כּ ל-בּ שׂ ר שׁ ם ק ד שׁוֹ ל עוֹל ם ו ע ד. ו א נ ח נוּ נ ב ר ך י הּ מ ע תּ ה ו ע ד-עוֹל ם. ה ל לוּי הּ. בּ רוּך א ל ה ינוּ שׁ בּ ר אָנוּ ל כ בוֹדוֹ, וּק ר אָנוּ ל ע בוֹד תוֹ, ו נ ת ן ל נוּ תּוֹר ת א מ ת, ו ח יּ י עוֹל ם נ ט ע בּ תוֹכ נוּ. הוּא י פ תּ ח ל בּ נוּ בּ תוֹר תוֹ, ו י שׂ ם בּ ל בּ נוּ אַה ב תוֹ ו י ר אָתוֹ, ל ע שוֹת ר צוֹנוֹ וּל ע ב דוֹ בּ ל ב ב שׁ ל ם. תּ תּ ן א מ ת ל י ע קב, ח ס ד ל אַב ר ה ם, א שׁ ר-נ שׁ בּ ע תּ ל א בת ינוּ מ ימ י ק ד ם. Let us praise God, who has touched us with His glory and called us to serve Him; who has given us a Torah of truth, placing eternity into our lives. May He open our hearts to His Torah, and fill us with love and reverence, that we may learn to do His will, and serve Him with a whole heart. You will show Your truth to Jacob, Your unfailing love to Abraham, as You promised our people long ago. וּב א ל צ יּוֹן גּ א לּ ה, וּל שׁ ב י פ שׁ ע בּ י ע ק ב, נ א ם י י. בּ רוּך י י, יוֹם יוֹם י ע מ ס ל נוּ; ה א ל י שׁוּע ת נוּ, ס ל ה.

Let the name of the Holy One, blessed is He, be glorified, exalted and honored, though He is beyond all the praises, songs, and adorations that we can utter, and let us say: Amen 9

Give strength to those of us who are rebuilding the land of Israel. And teach us all, wherever we live, to grow in knowledge and to love Your Torah. Lord our God, we pray for all peoples. Help the hungry to find bread for their bodies and food for their minds, and teach all Your children to do to others the kindness they would like done to themselves.

And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there. ו יּ אָמ ר,ל מ ל ך י ר יחוֹ ל אמ ר: ה נּ ה א נ שׁ ים בּ אוּ ה נּ ה ה לּ י ל ה, מ בּ נ י י שׂ ר א ל--ל ח פּ ר א ת-ה אָר ץ. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying: 'Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.' ו יּ שׁ ל ח מ ל ך י ר יחוֹ, א ל-ר ח ב ל אמ ר: הוֹצ יא י ה א נ שׁ ים ה בּ א ים א ל י ך, א שׁ ר-בּ אוּ ל ב ית ך --כּ י ל ח פּ ר א ת-כּ ל-ה אָר ץ, בּ אוּ. 3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying: 'Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.' ו תּ קּ ח ה א שּׁ ה א ת-שׁ נ י ה א נ שׁ ים, ו תּ צ פּ נוֹ; ו תּ אמ ר כּ ן, בּ אוּ א ל י ה א נ שׁ ים, ו ל א י ד ע תּ י, מ אַי ן ה מּ ה. 4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said: 'Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were; 19

And she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window. ו יּ ל כוּ, ו יּ ב אוּ ה ה ר ה, ו יּ שׁ בוּ שׁ ם שׁ ל שׁ ת י מ ים, ע ד-שׁ בוּ ה ר ד פ ים; ו י ב ק שׁוּ ה ר ד פ ים בּ כ ל-ה דּ ר ך, ו ל א מ צ אוּ. 22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. ו יּ שׁ בוּ שׁ נ י ה א נ שׁ ים, ו יּ ר דוּ מ ה ה ר, ו יּ ע ב רוּ ו יּ ב אוּ, א ל-י הוֹשׁ ע בּ ן-נוּן; ו י ס פּ רוּ-לוֹ--א ת כּ ל- ה מּ צ אוֹת, אוֹת ם. 23 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them. ו יּ אמ רוּ, א ל-י הוֹשׁ ע,כּ י-נ ת ן י הו ה בּ י ד נוּ, א ת-כּ ל-ה אָר ץ; ו ג ם-נ מ גוּ כּ ל-י שׁ ב י ה אָר ץ, מ פּ נ ינוּ. 24 And they said unto Joshua: 'Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.'

May Your name be blessed forever by every living being. Blessed is the Lord, for the Sabbath and its holiness. Returning the Torah to the Ark All Rise The world is sustained by three things: by truth, by justice, and by peace. When the Torah entered the world, freedom entered it. The whole Torah exists only to establish peace. Its highest teaching is love and kindness. What is hateful to you, do not do to any person. That is the whole Torah. All the rest is commentary. Go and learn it. Those who study Torah are the true guardians of civilization. Honoring one another, doing acts of kindness, and making peace: these are our highest duties. But the study of Torah is equal to them all, because it leads to them all. Let us learn in order to teach; Let us learn in order to do! ע ץ-ח יּ ים ה יא ל מּ ח ז יק ים בּ הּ, ו ת מ כ יה מ אשּׁ ר. דּ ר כ יה ד ר כ י-נ ע ם, ו כ ל-נ ת יבוֹת יה שׁ לוֹם.

And it has been said: The Lord shall reign over all the earth, on that day the Lord shall be One and His name shall be One. 26

28 The Blessing of Memory It is hard to sing of oneness when our world is not complete, when those who once brought wholeness to our life have gone, and naught but memory can fill the emptiness their passing leaves behind. But memory can tell us only what we were, in company with those we loved; it cannot help us find what each of us, alone, must now become. Yet no one is really alone; those who live no more, echo still within our thoughts and words, and what they did is part of what we have become. We do best homage to our dead when we live our lives most fully, even in the shadow of our loss. For each of our lives is worth the life of the whole world; in each one is the breath of the Ultimate One. In affirming the One, we affirm the worth of each one whose life, now ended, brought us closer to the Source of life, in whose unity no one is alone and every life finds purpose. 27
