just because you're not jewish doesn't mean you shouldn't know anything about judaism..
go read a book.

a bat/bar mitzvah happens when a boy/girl turns 13. it's a coming of age. the boy/girl becomes a man/woman in the jewish community's eyes. it's a big deal. in the morning, there's a temple service in which prayers are said and the person being mitzvahed reads from the Torah (in Hebrew, which they've been practicing and learning for most of their lives) in front of everyone for the first time. various members of the family also read scriptures and sections of the Torah. at night, there's a huge party that goes on for hours, pretty much at the level of a prom. you dress nicely for both. you must be covered up during the morning temple service but wear whatever you want for the party (a dress, but whatever kind you want). it's very rude to have a nicer dress than the person being mitzvahed, so you wanna get a dress to about the level of winter formal, but not like, a prom dress. guys wear suits for both, and yammachas during temple.
