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.

What does a Jewish a boy have to go through to show that he is now a man?
A Jewish boy becomes "bar mitzvah" at age 13 whether or not he participates in a bar mitzvah celebration. Becoming bar mitzvah means becoming old enough to be held personally responsible for performing the mitzvot (divine commandments). Parents are held responsible for their childrens' actions until the children come of age. In the Jewish tradition, that is age 13 for a boy. The celebration of a son becoming bar mitzvah typically involves a synagogue service where the boy participates as an adult, leading part or all of the service, and then a kiddush lunch or dinner to celebrate.

What is the ceromony called which jewish boys have to go to to turn into a man?
There is no ceremony where a Jewish boy must go in order to turn into a man. A Jewish boy is considered an adult for religious purposes, and to be responsible for his own conduct, when he turns 13. Whether he or anybody else does anything about it, or even knows about it. But the event is traditionally an occasion for joy and celebration in Jewish families, and many of them make a big deal of it, to live out their happiness and share it with family and friends. When the boy turns 13, he's called a "Bar Mitzvah". It's incorrect and somewhat gauche to refer to a ceremony or a party as a bar mitzvah, and truly repugnant to say that somebody "got bar-mitzvahed". The boy is the Bar Mitzvah when he turns 13, whether or not anybody even notices, and for a lot of people who care, it's a big event.
