Give me a break, Andy!
You missed the point of my question.  I know about all the stuff you
explained in such detail (don't forget, I know the Hebrew language
the rituals of Judaism rather well since I grew up in Israel).
Never-the-less, it has been a common custom for Jewish children to
celebrate the event of entering into adulthood.  Taking this as a
given piece of information, I was just wondering why there is an
inconsistency in the custom of celebrating the Bat (not Bar!0
Mitzvah in Israel and in the US.  It may have something to do with
Reform Judaism - but I don't know for sure, and that's why I posted
the question in the first place.
