What is a bar mitzvah ceremony?
Technically, there really is no ceremony. Rather, a boy becomes bar mitzvah (a son of the commandments) at age 13 regardless of whether or not any celebration is held. When the boy turns 13, he is old enough to be counted toward a minyan, the quorum of 10 people needed to hold a communal worship service in the Jewish tradition, and he is eligible to be called up for an alyiah to read or at least say the blessings for a segment of the Torah reading at a service. To celebrate a boy becoming bar mitzvah, it is traditional to hold a service where that boy is counted toward the minyan and is called up for an alyiah. Frequently, the boy will lead part or even all of the service and read the Torah for his alyiah and frequently also the haftara, the reading from the prophets that follows the Torah reading. The service itself is just a regular Jewish service, although the boy may give a sermon and the rabbi and family members may give speeches and gifts to the boy. In addition, the kiddush after the service (minimally, just wine and bread) is typically expanded to a festive meal.
When and if you disagree with a Jewish person why does he-she label you as anti-Semitic?
AnswerHe shouldn't, unless you disagreed based upon any anti-Semitic views you have. Such labeling is as narrow-minded as being labeled a racist for disagreeing with a black person.Anti-Semitism is defined as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."A genuine disagreement between a Jew and a non-Jew would not be considered anti-Semitic unless hatred of Jews was expressed.
Why are bats mitzvahs held?
A bar mitzvah is not performed. A Jewish boy becomes bar mitzvah at age 13, regardless of whether there is any ceremony. (The term for a girl is bat mitzvah.) At this age, a boy is, in the Jewish tradition, considered to be responsible for his own actions and able to be counted toward a minyan (the quorum of 10 required to hold public prayers) and to lead public prayers. It's traditional to hold a party to celebrate this, starting with a service in which the new young man actually leads some of the prayers to demonstrate that he is ready to take on this obligation. A party follows, and by the middle ages, there were rabbis who said it was worthy of the same kind of celebration you'd hold for a wedding.
