I am working with (and am a member of) a Secular Jewish community in the
United States. They have developed secular Bar and Bas (Bat) Mitzvas. And
the previous sentence is how they pluralize them, because B'nai Mitzva is a
masculine plural. It is impossible to have a gender-free plural without
resorting to English.
