Do you mean a card to a boy having a Bar Mitzvah? The general message is congratulatory, so ... Congratulations on this special occasion. or ... You've worked very hard, congratulations on this special day!
SInce it is the symbolic coming of age, i would write something about the future. For example "Congratulations on your Bat Mitzvah, thank you so much for inviting me/us. I wish you a lot of success in the future. You are a great girl."
Traditionally, the phrase you say to a new bar mitzvah or bat miztvah is "mazel tov!" Sometimes it is written as "mazal tov," which is the Hebrew spelling, instead of the common Yiddish spelling which is "mazel tov." The expression "mazel tov" is a Jewish expression used to extend congratulations for a happy achievement or significant milestone or event such as a bar or bat mitzvah. The Yiddish expression, by definition, means "good luck!"
Mazal tov- its hebrew for congradulations
Mazel Tov!
For answering this question I need to know if you are going the the Bar Mitzvah or not. Usually in a Bar Mitzvah There is a ceremony with a party, and then it's customary to bring a present and not just a card. If you are not going to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony you can only send a card. Should you go to the Bar Mitzvah or not? It's totally up to you and how close you are with the family.
The most appropriate would be "Mazol Tov" which means congratulations in Hebrew. Also, I should point out that the term is Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah (Bar for a boy, bat for a girl).
Just like you did when you asked the question: Bat Mitzvah.
Thank you for your generous gift on the occasion of my Bar Mitvah.
Any gift that you would give to a boy or girl is a suitable bar mitzvah gift. Just because it is a bar mitzvah doesn't mean it should be treated specially. Another popular bar mitzvah gift is money in multiples of 18.
A gift card from his favorite store or restaurant.
After the event.
The bar mitzvah you refer to is probably not actually THE bar mitzvah. That is a ceremony during the service held in the synagogue on a Shabbat (Saturday) morning when best clothes should be worn. You are probably referring to the party celebrating this bar mitzvah. Then, there are no rules - if the invitation says "jeans" then jeans it is.
The word Bar Mitzvah (בר מצוה) is a Hebrew word. Bar is technically Aramaic, but it's commonly used in Hebrew.The Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which is actually just an ordinary Torah service, is entirely in Hebrew.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
The Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish ceremony that dates to the 13th century and confirms that a Jewish boy has come of age and should be seen as an adult in the community. The celebration of coming of age remains an important rite in Judaism.
