A Jewish boy becomes a bar mitzvah when he turns 13 years of age, whether he or anyone around him
is aware of it at the time, and whether or not he or anyone else decides to acknowledge the occasion or
celebrate it in any way.

However, $36 is perfectly appropriate as a gift to give your classmate for his Bar Mitzvah, even though it would probably be an inappropriate amount for a close, working relative.
