Summary:
Created for parents and teachers to help their children and/or students grow into responsible adults in their Bar/Bat Mitzvah year. Each of the book's twelve chapters, complete with comic illustrations, explores one mitzvah or command. The book is designed for students to engage in a new mitzvah every month of the year. At the same time, projects allow and encourage youths to take on new responsibilities, while continuing to fulfill previous ones. Each chapter includes background information on the given mitzvot , discussion questions, activities, and a project allowing youths to practice the mitzvot in the real world. In addition, chapters contain a diary for students to keep track of what they learned and how their experience made them feel.
