At age 13, a Bar Mitzvah boy becomes a man in the religious sense.
Jewish boys have a Bar Mitzvah at 13 years as a rite of passage.
The Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish ceremony that dates to the 13th century and confirms that a Jewish boy has come of age and should be seen as an adult in the community. The celebration of coming of age remains an important rite in Judaism.
rite of passage or his bar mitzvah
When Jewish boy reaches 13 years of age it is rite of passage
The correct spelling is "bar mitzvah" (Jewish rite of adulthood). In some US style guides (but not most) it is capitalized Bar Mitzvah. The corresponding term for a female is "bat mitzvah."
Bar Mitzvah gifts are not important at all. They serve to show the boy that he is loved (or girl, if it's a bat mitzvah), but they are optional.
The term from Hebrew is usually spelled bar mitzvah(Jewish rite of manhood).
Bar Mitzvah literally means 'son of the commandment'. One cannot 'have' a Bar Mitzvah; it is simply the term for the age at which a Jewish boy becomes becomes obligated to follow the commandments, and is responsible for his actions. A boy becomes Bar Mitzvah at age 13. The term 'Bar Mitzvah' is commonly, and incorrectly, used to refer to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony, a rite of passage, when a Jewish boy is called up to the Torah for the first time.
The Bar Mitzvah is important to Jews because it is when a Jewish boy is old enough to take on the religious responsibility of an adult.
It is a tradition in the Jewish Religion. :)
