Circumcision and Bar Mitzvah
A bar mitzvah is when a Jewish boy becomes a man. This happens at the age of 13.
The young person is from that time obligated by the Torah commands.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
Yes, the boy is called 'a/the bar mitzvah' which translates as 'son of mitzvah'. For a girl, it would be 'a/the bat mitzvah' 'daughter of mitzvah'.
Go the bar mitzvah sites to see what generally happens and is given on the occasion. There are modern day ideas to look over. Try to think modern and not traditional.
The key player in the Bar Mitzvah boy is the 13 year old Jewish boy, his family and friends are invited to join in the celebration. For more info on Bar Mitzvah check out http://www.yourjewishspeech.com/bar-mitzvah
