JOY OF YOUTH – BAT MITZVAH
State Medal, 2005/5765
When a Jewish girl reaches the age of twelve, she is considered an "adult". The first Bat Mitzvah Medal was issued in 1978, at the 30th Anniversary of the State of Israel. In 2004, a public design contest was organized for a new Bat Mitzvah Medal and it was won by two talented Israeli girls, Liron Tobol and Shiri Tsarfati.
