Your Bar Mitzvah! (Bar/Bat Mitzvah)
For young Jewish men reaching their 13th birthdays, Bar Mitzvah (translated: Son of God's Law) is the ceremonial recognition of adulthood and its responsibilities as set down in the Torah, the Law entrusted to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai. Music: "Hatikvah," translated as "The Hope," Israel's national anthem(officially as of 2004); words drawn from an 1877 poem by Ukrainian Naphtali Herz Imber, music inspired by a 16th century Italian song "La Mantovana," adapted to "Hatikvah" by Samuel Cohen in 1888. This theme is strikingly similar to the stirring Czech tone poem, "The Moldau" by Bedrich Smetana.
