THE PRACTICES THAT HELP ACHIEVE THE GOALS Hebrew and English a passage of their choice. The rabbi addresses the girl or girls and the ceremony is usually followed by celebrations at home or in the communal synagogue hall. A Bat Chayil ceremony is commonly preceded by a course in Jewish Studies and recognises the girls’ graduation from this class. It is also a time for receiving gifts from friends and family members. Education It is important for Jews to learn to read Hebrew; inability to read Hebrew is a barrier to prayer and to following the services in synagogue. The Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah and Bat Chayil ceremonies involve young Jewish men and women in attaining a level of competence in Hebrew and Jewish Studies that will allow them to learn what the mitzvot are and how to carry them out. This is done by direct teaching in classes and indirectly by parents at home who create the appropriate Jewish environment. Adults are encouraged to continue with their study of Judaism to provide answers to questions which challenge the Jewish faith and its practices, and to understand the continued relevance of Judaism in the contemporary world. ‘He who does not increase his knowledge, decreases it’ (Ethics of the Fathers 1). 82 RMPS: WORLD RELIGIONS – JUDAISM (INT 2, H) © Learning and Teaching Scotland
