The singer posted a photo on her Instagram of Rocco completing the writing of a Torah scroll with the caption, “ 'We finish the last letter of the Torah for Rocco’s Bar Mitzva! Lucky 13! Happy Birthday! Potential ……… responsibility!!!!' -Madonna.”

The festivities continued at Bklyn Beast, New York City’s training facility for Parkour, Capoeira and Dance.
