MITZVAH [ˈmitsvə]
Bar mitzvah (Hebrew: בַּר מִצְוָה ) is a Jewish coming of age ritual for boys, whereas bat mitzvah (Hebrew: בַּת מִצְוָה ; Ashkenazi pronunciation: bas mitzveh ) is the equivalent for girls. The plural is b 'nai mitzvah for boys or mixed sex groups, and b'not mitzvah (Ashkenazi pronunciation: b'nos mit zvah) for girls.
Thus bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah literally translate to "son of commandment" and "daughter of commandment". However, in rabbinical usage, the word bar means "under the category of" or "subject to". Bar mitzvah therefore translates to "a [agent] who is subject to the law".
The Hebrew word mitzvot means "commandments" (mitzvah is its singular form). Although the word is sometimes used more broadly to refer to rabbinic (Talmudic) law or general good deeds - as in, "It would be a mitzvah to visit your mother" - in its strictest sense it refers to the divine commandments given by God in the Torah.
Much like a wedding, a bar or bat mitzvah is a large celebration planned well in advance and the host will need to know the number of guests to expect in order to provide adequate food, drink and seating. This is also why it's good etiquette to RSVP as soon as possible.
