What Jewish ceremony do Jewish boys go through to show that he is a man?
There is no ceremony that a Jewish boy goes through to show that he is a man. A Jewish male is legally an adult at the age of 13. At that time, he can legally enter into contracts, his testimony as a witness is acceptable in a court, he is responsible and accountable for his own choices and actions, and he is known as a "bar mitzvah". That's why his 13th birthday is a big occasion, and some people celebrate it by having him participate in a synagogue service for the first time, and even with a party or a reception. But whether or not there is any celebration, and whether or not the boy or his family are even aware of the occasion, he still attains this legal status when he turns 13.
