Yes, Bark Mitzvahs – or bar mitzvahs for dogs – are really a thing. And it doesn’t matter if your pooch is turning 13 months or 13 years, one of the most fun and iconic Jewish traditions gives some a way to reconnect with their faith, or to shower love on their four-legged family members.
If you’re looking for reasons to gather the whole mishpucha for some mishegas, then we’ve got you covered. Here are nine reasons to yell mazel tov for your adorable mutt.
