What is the appropriate attire to wear to a Bar/Bat Mitzvah?
At the Synagogue, wear whatever you would wear to a typical synagogue service. For the family of the bar/Bat Mitzvah, some families buy new clothing for the occasion. Remember to dress with appropriate respect for the house of worship you attend. If you have never been to Synagogue before, don’t worry. Wear some nice clothes, perhaps what you might wear to church or at a wedding. No special garb is required that you cannot borrow at the synagogue, namely a kippot (or other head covering) and a tallit or prayer shawl, required for men only by some synagogues. If you have a simcha at night or the next day, dress according to the theme, place and tenor of the affair. Remember to instruct guests in the invitations if you have special dress requirements.If you are a guest, consult the wedding or Bar/Bat Mitzvah invitation, which should have dress instructions.
