The Bar/Bat Mitzvah is recognized as the coming of age ceremony wherein boys and girls enter adulthood. Coming of age events for boys and girls is something you will remember as an important time of your and your child's life. Orchestrating a successful Bar or Bat Mitzvah is much like producing a Broadway play or a Hollywood movie. There are so many behind the scenes players involved and perhaps none as important as the one whose experienced eyes are carefully capturing every precious moment for posterity and hours of enjoyment tomorrow. To have these events video documented is a good thing for you memories of what is important in your life. 

Traditionally, the ages for Bar/Bat Mitzvah are 13 for boys and 12 for girls (recognizing girls' faster maturation), although many people perform the Bat Mitzvah ceremony at age 13. To belong to and to keep a religious belief is a very important choice in your life. Give your child the best gift for the event. Make a video documentation for your child to keep as a reminder, and a memory, of these religious choices and what they mean. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony has become a rite of passage for many boys and girls, linking the event to the giving of gifts and a festive party after the ceremony to congratulate the Bar/Bat Mitzvah for their accomplishment. Your religion tells you what to aim for, and morally what to stand for, in life. It is important to look at these events as memorable and important. When you show your child that you take religious events as seriously as other events in life, they will too.
