The candle lighting is very important for the coming of age ritual. The bar mitzvah boy or the bat mitzvah girl must reflect and invite a pre-selected group of thirteen close friends and family members to participate in lighting the candles. One of the most exciting Jewish traditions of the evening is the hora—a circle dance. This is a song and dance where the guests of honor the child followed by their parents each take a turn sitting in a chair and being raised in the air by their guests with surrounding guests holding hands and dancing in circles.
A hora will energize the crowd and last about fifteen minutes. We suggest wearing a suit, dress shirt and slacks, or dresses to be most appropriate. After all, the ceremony is usually held at a religious place of worship, so the more formal the better. As for the party, feel free to bring a different outfit to change into for a more casual and relaxed feel.
Remember to wear something comfortable to move in so you can dance! Since this day is to celebrate a birthday, of course, you need to bring a birthday present!
