Abstract
For the first time in the history of Jewish schooling in the UK, researchers are studying the Jewish lives of more than
1,000 children who entered one of seven Jewish secondary schools in 2011. We are also studying a comparison group of close to 100 Jewish families whose children did not enter a Jewish secondary school in 2011.
This publication focuses on what we have learned from parent surveys and family interviews about Bar/Bat Mitzvah – a key stage within the Jewish life cycle. When we surveyed and interviewed families in 2013–14, their
children were in Year Nine. They reflected on the extent to which Bar/Bat Mitzvah played a role in their lives. We were able to ask if, where and how this moment was celebrated as well as the role their school played.
