A bar mitzvah celebration has no specific rules, but it celebrates a boy's becoming an adult. In the Jewish tradition, adults are responsible for the 613 mitzvot (variously translated commandments or laws) found in the Torah. The celebration usually follows the first religious service at which the boy, now a young man, participates in the service as an adult.
