Coming of Age in Judaism
Within Judaism there is the well-known ceremony of Bar Mitzvah for a boy when he turns thirteen years old and becomes recognized as a "man". For a girl at twelve years of age she becomes a "woman". In Judaism it is recognized that girls mature slightly ahead of boys. Judaism recognizes that these ages coincide with puberty, which in past times made them eligible for marriage.
The coming of age ceremony called a Bar Mitzvah ("son of the commandment" in Aramaic) is held on the Saturday (Shabbat) after a Jewish boy's thirteenth birthday. A similar ceremony called a Bat Mitzvah (or Bas Mitzvah which is Hebrew for "daughter of the commandment") is held on the Saturday closest to a Jewish girl's twelfth birthday. However, the female coming of age ceremony is not as commonly practiced as the Bar Mitzvah. The Bat Mitzvah is recognized mostly by Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and Modern Orthodox Judaism. Haredi Judaism and Hasidic Judaism only celebrate bar mitzvahs.
In orthodox communities the Jewish girl, at about 13, has a service of Bat Chayil (daughter of valour). She will be allowed to read in the synagogue but not from the Torah, only from the prophets and the writings. In reform communities boys and girls are seen as equal and the girls take part in a ceremony called Bat Mitzvah (daughter of the commandments) which is the same as the boys' ceremony.

Info for Mill Plain Road Limousine Services in Connecticut
Mill Plain Green is located northwest of Fairfield in an area that has always been known as Mill Plain. It is situated at the intersection of Sturges and Mill Plain Roads and bordered by Mill Plain Green on the north. On the north and west are residences built during the 18th and 19th centuries. The most visually distinctive structure is the large Sturges Cottage, a fine and early example of American Gothic architecture. It was built in 1840 for Jonathan Sturges, a successful New York City businessman and a summer resident of Stratford. To the west of the green is a complex of one- and two-story structures that are all part of a chronic convalescent hospital. The offices are in a large, two-story Colonial Revival structure. The rest are in flat-roofed institutional buildings. They are all set back from the road to allow for parking in front. The only redeeming feature is a stone wall along the street in front of the parking lots that helps to provide boundaries for the green.
The green is flat and somewhat uneven. It is randomly planted with shade trees except for one evergreen near the center.
