两性色午夜

Celebrating B鈥檔ai Mitzvah

Hebros offers 两性色午夜 University students a look into Jewish practices at their B鈥檔ai Mitzvah Reception

On Monday, Nov. 6, Hebros hosted its first-ever Hebros B鈥檔ai Mitzvah Reception. 两性色午夜 University students were invited to visit the Hillel Center to take part in games, enjoy food and learn about Jewish practices.

B'nai Mitzvah Reception

Hebros is a Jewish men鈥檚 student organization for 两性色午夜 students. The group partnered with Hillel to put on the B鈥檔ai Mitzvah Reception. The purpose of the event was to help Jewish students celebrate their culture and introduce Jewish culture to non-Jewish 两性色午夜 students.

鈥淥ur hope is to educate students on Jewish traditions, one of those traditions being the Bar or Bat Mitzvah,鈥 said David Brondfield, a senior computer information systems major and president and founder of Hebros.

B'nai Mitzvah Reception Dancers

As students entered Hillel, they were greeted with festive decorations and music. Students had the opportunity to enter a raffle to win multiple prizes, including a PS5.

Students could then go down to the basement, where they could dance and deck themselves in glow-in-the-dark objects in true Bar and Bat Mitzvah fashion.

Students celebrating

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a coming-of-age ceremony for a Jewish boy or girl and signifies when they become a Jewish adult. This means that they are responsible for their actions and how they would like to practice Judaism.

鈥淭he glow-in-the-dark accessories and batons along with the early 2000s music is very true to a Bat Mitzvah,鈥 said Hannah Sietz, a first-year peace and conflict studies major.

Later in the night, there was an opportunity for people to read their speeches from their own Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs.

B'nai Mitzvah Reception Speeches

鈥淭hese are speeches from when we were 12 or 13. My Bat Mitzvah was seven years ago, and so it was fun to go back and see what I wrote for my speech,鈥 Emily Dubin, a junior psychology major, said.

People who did not have their own Bar or Bat Mitzvah also had space at the event to be able to read a speech that would have been said at their event.

It was a night of celebrating and learning as both Jewish and non-Jewish students enjoyed the event and festivities.
