Judaics circize infant boys I would like to know if Judaism What does Judaism have for baby girls?

circision מילה is from the Torah, bar-mitzva is not mentioned neither in the Torah nor in the whole bible. it is a Talmudic expression and the ceremony custom is much later. bat mitzva is a new custom that comes with the women rights. i in Israel they now also fest בריתה (a feminine form of ברית [which is short of ברית מילה]) - but nothing is cut off :)
