Moving Traditions inspires people to live fuller lives -- and to work for a better world for all -- by advocating for a more expansive view of gender in Jewish learning and practice. Moving Traditions really focuses on specific gender roles. The organization embraces girls helping girls and boys helping boys, so that each gender can learn to help themselves. Also, you are sometimes more comfortable talking to someone who is the same gender as you.

They say that no matter what happens, at the end of your wedding day the goal is to be married. I find the same to be true for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. At the end of the day you are a Jewish adult. You will be held to higher standards. It does not matter if you only have an aaliyah to the Torah or if you lead the whole thing.

If non-Jews receives those books, there is a chance that the Jews in your area will not receive the books.
