For girls, a bat mitzvah. For boys, a bar mitzvah - both events signify that the child is now an adult in Jewish law and can take on adult responsibilities such as reading from the Torah in the synagogue.
Traditionally, the bat miztvah has been celebrated when the girl is 12 and the bar mitzvah when the boy is 13 - however, it's now common for those communities that celebrate the bat mitzvah (it's a relatively new concept) to celebrate it when the girl is 13.
