2. May the Al-mighty bless and grant success to each of the Bar Mitzvah celebrants that they should resolve to serve G-d — the undertaking of the yoke of the kingship of heaven and the undertaking of the yoke of mitzvos. May this be done in the manner of the blessing given in the “Season of the Giving of the our Torah” — with joy and in an inner manner; and may this resolve accompany them all the days of their lives.

When the Bar Mitzvah celebrant undertakes the above resolution, “G-d helps him” to fully carry out this resolution, with good health, joy, a good heart, and with a Chassidic vitality; and, since every day one must grow in wisdom and in all matters of holiness, the implementation of — the above resolution must be in an ever-increasing manner.

One thereby merits all G-d’s blessings — the reward for fulfilling Torah and mitzvos, as written, “If you shall walk in My statutes and keep My mitzvos and do them” G-d promises to give one blessings for all one’s needs. These blessings are bestowed both upon the Bar Mitzvah celebrants, and upon their parents (and those who helped), who reared them and educated them to walk in the way of Torah and mitzvos and to be Jews observant of Torah and mitzvos. For since they have fulfilled their task — the great responsibility and merit placed upon them by G-d to educate their children in the Jewish path — they merit a special blessing from G-d in addition to the blessings they receive in their own merit.

G-d will certainly grant each of you, amidst all Israel, long and good life — in all its meanings, both materially and spiritually. Thus, every Jew, small and great, will increase in all good and Jewish things, particularly the dissemination of Judaism, in proper health, with good sustenance.

Through this we hasten the happy time when G-d will fulfill His promise to bring out from exile every one of us, amidst all Israel, and to bring everyone to our holy land, to the holy city of Yerushalayim, to the Bais HaMikdash which will be built very soon by our righteous Mashiach.

As is the Jewish custom, it is proper that on the day of his Bar Mitzvah, the Bar Mitzvah celebrant learn the fourteenth psalm in Tehillim, the bDja k- ._of David. The Bar Mitzvah celebrant should also give tzedakah on the day of his Bar Mitzvah, in addition to the tzedakah given on a regular day. If the Bar Mitzvah is on Shabbos or Yom Tov, the tzedakah should be given on erev Shabbos and erev Yom Tov or after Shabbos and Yom Tov.

It is as well that the parents of the Bar Mitzvah celebrant do likewise, in the merit of the Bar Mitzvah celebrant.
