∙ 14y agoThere is no ceremony that inducts Jewish boys into adulthood.
When a Jewish boy turns 13, he's then considered to bear adult responsibility for his own
religious and ethical behavior, and he is then known as a "Bar Mitzvah". The occasion of the
13th birthday is generally regarded as an event to celebrate. Since the transition is related
to the boy's religious status in the community, the occasion is almost always marked by his
first participation in a synagogue service. Over and above that, different families may hold
more or less celebrations, possibly but not necessarily including a formal dinner, reception,
party, concert, safari, moon shot, world cruise, etc. These have no framework in Jewish law
or tradition; each family does what seems right in its own eyes.

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.
