The first Bat Mitzvah sparked a revolution of inclusion. When Judith Kaplan recited verses in SAJ's men’s section, she had no idea she would make history.

Jewish Women's Archive was recently published in eJewishPhilanthropy prior to this weekend's events surrounding the 100th Anniversary of the Bat Mitzvah! #batmitzvah100 #SAJNYC ejewishphilanthropy.com/bat-mitzvah-at…

The first American Bat Mitzvah didn't happen until 1922, when Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan bat mitzvahed his daughter, Judith. Over the past 100 years, the bat mitzvah has gone from radical innovation to mainstream expectation. n.pr/3JpZkOY

Marking a moment of inclusion & joy at SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All’s 100th anniversary of the bat mitzvah 🎉 Thanks to Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan’s momentous & feminist vision, his daughter Judith & young girls everywhere claimed their rightful and equal place within Judaism. 👏@rabbilauren

100 yrs ago, Judith Kaplan became the first bat mitzvah SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All. Beautiful to celebrate there tonight! As @RosaBLander told me, it not only opened up Jewish participation to women — it opened up & renewed Judaism itself. So grateful for what it’s added to my own Jewish life.

This is the Torah of Judaism that Stands for All! SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All @rabbilauren Mik Moore

It was an absolute honor to be here tonight with SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All and Governor Kathy Hochul celebrating this groundbreaking moment in feminist Jewish history. A perfect transition from celebrating Queen Esther on Purim to Judith Kaplan on this historic day!

We hope everyone had a great Purim! Still a bit hungover and need "hair of the dog" to get back into the swing of things? Chutzpod! has you covered: chutzpod.com/blog/111-live-…

When Judith Kaplan became the first American girl to have a bat mitzvah ceremony #OnThisDay 100 years ago at SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All, it paved the way for people of all genders to mark coming-of-age in inclusive ways. Celebrate #BatMitzvahAt100 with resources & more: jwa.org/batmitzvah100

100 years ago today, Judith Kaplan stood chanted verses from the torah and became the first Bat Mitzvah in America. Tonight in congregations across the country, we Rise Up to celebrate bat mitzvah and the contributions of girls and women in Jewish ritual. jwa.org/batmitzvah100

The bat mitzvah turns 100 today! On March 18, 1922, Judith Kaplan read Torah SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All. To mark the occasion, here’s a picture of my bat mitzvah party. The DJ I’m dancing with—you may recognize him from Clueless, Ant-Man, and People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue. #BatMitzvahat100

Jewish Women's Archive SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All This is such a creative idea for making history more relatable. I love it!

This is the only photo from my #BatMitzvah , taken before sundown on Friday, November 14, 1975. Since I was a girl, all I did was recite the Haftorah on Friday night... (1 of 3) #BatMitzvahat100 #WomensHistoryMonth

Many of the stories we're sharing for #BatMitzvahAt100 are about women who were the first in some way. Today's first is from Francis (Francie) Mendelssohn, whose bat mitzvah was the first one at her Milwaukee synagogue, founded in 1847. #BatMitzvah100 #CelebrationInStories

“Judith Kaplan Eisenstein, being in the right place and at the right time, and in the right family, and gifted with certain talents and abilities, put fear and uncertainty behind her and stood up at this synagogue"...@ejphil EstherK ejewishphilanthropy.com/through-instag…
