Many Jews have heard that the first bat mitzvah celebration took place in 1922 in a Reconstructionist congregation — and that the first girl to become a bat mitzvah was Judith Kaplan, daughter of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism. Much less familiar are the historical factors leading to that moment, or why it took several more decades before the bat mitzvah as we know it to take root.
