13.Jewish Summer Festival
August 26 - September 6, 2010
The Jewish Summer Festival has reached its 13th year
In 2010 the Jewish Summer Festival will arrive to a symbolic anniversary, as according to Jewish tradition our festival will now come of age.
This is the age where boys are accepted into the adult community, this independence within the religion is also made evident when the boy is publicly called to the Torah. The occasion is marked by the Bar Mitzvah festivities and family feasts. In modern prayers this is a ceremonial occasion, when parents, relatives and friends lift the spirit of the occasion by granting the Bar Mitzvah gifts.
