Can you have your bat or bar mitzvah at any age?

Yes! There are a number of reasons for having an adult Bar Mitzvah - you may not have celebrated it when you were a child, you may have converted in later years, or you may have experienced a spiritual awakening, and you want to mark your commitment to the Jewish people again - as a mature adult. You can have a bar/bat mitzvah at any age, although there is a custom to have a second bar mitzvah at age 73.


Why do you have to be thirteen at a bar mitzvah?

Bar mitzvah literally translates as 'son of mitzvah'. This is when a male Jew is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of an adult male. According to Judaism, 13 is when a boy is old enough to take on these responsibilities and he is a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday.
