The boy celebrating his bar mitzvah may lead as much as an entire service, or as little as nothing, depending on his ability. Other parts of the service may be led by any adult who is able, but are frequently led by the community's rabbi. The rabbi may say, but is not required to say, the priestly benediction, laying his hands on the boy's head. Jewish tradition does single out one special prayer for the bar mitzvah, to be said by the father of the boy after the father is called up to the Torah for one segment of the Torah reading. That is a prayer thanking God for relieving the father of responsibility for his son's actions. The son is now responsible for his own misdeeds.
