After they become Bar Mitzvah, Jewish boys are responsible for all the commandments of the Torah/Bible. They are supposed to eat kosher food, honour the Sabbath, celebrate holidays, and many more. Many non-observant Jews do not follow all these rules, it really depends on their level of observance. But really, the meaning of becoming Bar Mitzvah is becoming an adult and becoming responsbile for your actions and choices.

A boy of 13 is now one of the essential 10 and he is obliged to take part in a minyan and is also of age to read out from the Torah at Tora readings. These take place on Mondays, Thursdays and Sabbaths and on special holydays.
