The only text that's uniquely associated with a bar mitzvah celebration is a brief blessing

recited by the father of the bar mitzvah boy. It's actually available in two forms. Depending

on the father's confidence in his ability to read Hebrew, he can select the short form of

the blessing, which consists of five words, or the long form, which runs to nine words.

Anything else that you might hear pronounced or recited exclusively at a service where

a bar mitzvah is celebrated will be a modern innovation, added in recent times in order to

spiff it up and make it seem more unusual and special. Except for the father's brief blessing,

there are no special prayers "required" at the bar mitzvah service.
