It's not that bad preparing, and it really brings you colser to Judaism. Try to look forward to it. You're about to become an adult member of your conregation. Personally, my bar mitzvah was the most moving experience of my life... and the after party was awesome!

See if you can get your cantor or your leining instructor to make an mp3 recording of your Torah portion and Haftarah portion. Stick it on your computer and/or iPod and listen to it throughout the day, singing along when you can. Practice it until you could do it backward and forward in your sleep, and also every other part of the service that you get to lead, so that you'll be very confident on the day.
Think about what it means to become a bar mitzvah, a son of sacred obligation. This is an awesome responsibility, but Hashem would not have made you a Jew if he thought you couldn't handle it.

Divash Think about what it means to become a bar mitzvah, a son of sacred obligation. This is an awesome responsibility, but Hashem would not have made you a Jew if he thought you couldn't handle it. very true. though, in light of that, i find it funny that people spend so much time and energy on leining, of all things. of course, it wouldn't be so bad if people followed up, and actually learned to lein any given krea. but most just push to memorize a small portion, then never pay it any mind again. it just seems so futile... "i find it hard to tell you, i find it hard to take..."

Personally, I'm hoping to get much better at it, so that I can pick up any Torah portion and read at least the bits that one reads for minchat Shabbat, from the very beginning of the parashah. The parts that we read during women-only tefillah gatherings.

YvetteEmilieDupont don't just memorize your reading sad there's no use in that. I practiced mine so much I ended up memorizing it without meaning to. Still ended up reading it in my actual bat mitzvah, though. 3nodding I don't know if your cantor does it, but mine was amazing in that he stayed with us for hours a week on top of normal lessons, and gave us a cassette tape with our portions chanted on it so we could either chant with him or listen to it otherwise. ^^

(in fact, to a certain extant, it's forbidden to repeat any torah sh'b'ksav from wrote)

Ooo the cassette one is really really good, maybe play it on your sterio really softly by your bed on a cd on repeat!! WHILE YOU SLEEP I've always wanted to see if that works.
