A bar mitzvah is not something to "go through". A bar mitzvah is a person, specifically
a Jewish adult, fully and solely responsible for his own conduct and behavior, legally
entitled to enter into binding contracts, legally acceptable as a witness, and as his own
litigant in disputes of law. A Jewish male becomes one at age 13.
A bar mitzvah takes on the religious responsibilities of a Jewish adult.
Jewish boys have a Bar Mitzvah at 13 years as a rite of passage.
Yes.
This is actually a common misconception. When a Jewish male turns 13 he is considered to be an adult in regard to taking on the religious responsibilities of an adult Jewish male. This happens on his 13th birthday when he is a 'bar mitzvah'. When he turns 13 he reads from the Torah publicly for the first time and this is associated with his being a bar mitzvah. The ceremony doesn't make the person a bar mitzvah, it celebrates his being a bar mitzvah.

Bar Mitzvah literally means 'son of the commandment'. One cannot 'have' a Bar Mitzvah; it is simply the term for the age at which a Jewish boy becomes becomes obligated to follow the commandments, and is responsible for his actions. A boy becomes Bar Mitzvah at age 13. The term 'Bar Mitzvah' is commonly, and incorrectly, used to refer to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony, a rite of passage, when a Jewish boy is called up to the Torah for the first time.
