The phrase "bar mitzvah" refers to a boy becoming a young man. Jewish tradition holds that this happens at age 13, and Jewish traditions hold that, having passed this age, he is responsible for performing the mitzvot, that is, for keeping the commandments of Jewish law. One of the mitzvot is to wear fringes on the corners of your garments. To keep this commandment, Jewish men traditionally wear a four-cornered garment, a tallit or prayer shawl, with a tassel on each corner. So, when a boy turns 13 and celebrates his becoming bar mitzvah, he traditionally is given a tallit. Another mitzvah is to wear tefillin, one on the forehead and one on the dominant (usually right) arm. So in Orthodox and some Conservative communities, the bar mitzvah boy will be given his first set of tefillin. Ideally, these are not just one-time use items. Ideally, the young man will wear tallit and tefillin daily during morning prayers for the rest of his life.
