Recently, we finished our third and last Protestant Bar Mitzvah. Although we were never instructed on how to perform the process, we accomplished the goal. With a few examples, we made a plan. With no road map to follow, we found a way. Even though I had never participated in a similar event in my life, we forged ahead. We did it. Today, we set out to share with you what happened in the lives of the young men who stepped up, defended their faith, responded to queries, and presented their maturity. We want you to experience the ups and downs of the process. We want to challenge you to consider some type of ceremony or event for your offspring. In A Protestant Bar Mitzvah: Raising Men and Women of Faith, Ladd C. Hoffman provides the events, planning, and execution of a coming-of-age celebration with a purpose that he devised for his sons. You will hear the thought process and the challenges the event produced. You may be encouraged to plan some type of event for your child.
