How French Traditions Work
Differentiate reality from stereotypes as you learn about French culture. The French have a reputation of being snobs, but that is changing in the global world. Although the French consume a lot of fat in their diets, they have a low incidence of heart disease. The French cultivate quality of life, with at least five weeks of vacation a year guaranteed.

Explore French fashion, philosophy, cinema, and sports.

Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation
The word Mitzvah means commandment in both Hebrew and Aramaic. At the age of 13 for boys and 12 for girls, Jewish children become obligated to observe the commandments.

The Jewish Virtual Library web site explains that a ceremony is not necessary to confer the rights and obligations.
