How might it change the bar mitzvah boys behavour each day after the bar mitzvah ceremony?

Do ALL Jewish boys get Bar Mitzvahed?
First, let's clarify what a bar mitzvah actually is. On a Jewish boy's 13th birthday he becomes a bar mitzvah, there is no ceremony necessary for this to happen, it's automatic. Now, when a boy becomes a bar mitzvah, one of the traditions is for him to publicly read from the Torah as this is a responsibility held by Jewish adults. However, any Jewish male who is not circumcised is not allowed to be the person who reads the Torah portion publicly. Therefore, if a Jewish boy is not circumcised, he cannot participate in the ceremony associated with becoming a bar mitzvah.
Why is a bar or bat mitzvah special to judaism?
Bar is Aramaic for 'son'. Bat is Hebrew for 'daughter'. When a boy turns 13 and a girl turns 12, they are considered adults in the eyes of Judaism. This means that they are now responsible for taking on the religious responsibilities of adult Jews - fasting, being counted for community prayers, etc.
What are the same about bar Mitzvah and bat Mitzvah?
Amazing! There is a service in the morning for about an hour and a half. There normally is a party after or later that day, sometimes even the next day! (:
Do Jews wear anything special after the bar Mitzvah?
Jews do indeed wear special things after the bar Mitzvah, depending on the day of the week the bar Mitzvah is on. Mon-Wednesday they wear a dinosaur costume, and the other days of the week they have to wear a chicken mask at all hours of the day until they can recite the purple Irishman's code by heart.
A comparison between a christian and a Jewish coming of age ceremony?
Jewish Coming-of-Age Ceremonies for their children are called Bar or Bat Mitzvahs(depending upon the sex of the child receiving the ceremony). For the boy, he receives his Bar Mitzvah at age 13 years. For the girl, she receives her Bat Mitzvah usually at 12 years(occasionally 13 too). Bar & Bat Mitzvah Ceremonies are celebrated on the Sabbath Day closest to the birthday of the child receiving the Ceremony. The Sacrament of Confirmation is the Christian Coming-of-Age Ceremony. It is for both boys & girls, & they usually receive this Sacrament approximately between the ages of 12 - 15 years. While Jewish children receive Bar/Bat Mitzvahs individually, Christian children receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in a group. In the Catholic Church, a young Confirmation candidate may choose a Patron Saint for him/herself.
Where do you have a bar mitzvah?
The bar mitzvah can be held more-or-less absolutely anywhere at all, so long as there are at least 10 men there aged 13 or more. Some boys are bar mitzvah outdoors, some at the Kotel (the Western Wall in Jerusalem) but most are bar mitzvah in their local synagogue. The party, which normally takes place the following day, which celebrates the bar mitzvah can be held anywhere you like, but only kosher food should be served. If the boy has now become the man, let's start him off on the right foot.
How late after the thirteenth birthday can the bar mitzvah take place?
The boy himself becomes a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday; there is no changing that.If you are asking how long after the boy in question turns 13 can the ceremony that celebrates his becoming a bar mitzvah take place, that's a different question.The boy is called up to read from the Torah on the first day possible after he turns 13 if not on his actual birthday. If it was not celebrated at all (such as with former Soviet Jews), it can be celebrated at any later point in his life.
