Elper, Ora Wiskind
Traditions & Celebrations for the Bat Mitzvah. Elper, Ora Wiskind. Urim Publications, 2005.
Synopsis: Since the Bat Mitzvah celebration is not founded in ancient tradition, much confusion surrounds it.

Elements that are paid special attention are the staging of the event, halakhic questions, learning material for the girl who is entering Bat Mitzvah, ideas for drashot, and a survey of preparatory programs for the upcoming celebration, and more.
