Why do Jewish boys turn to men at 13?
Every system of laws incorporates the concept that there is an age at which a person attains
the maturity to be held responsible for certain adult duties that were denied to the child.
Example:
In the USA, a person under the age of 18 is considered insufficiently mature to purchase beer, or to vote
for candidates for elected office. A person under the age of 21 is considered insufficiently mature to sign
business contracts.
In Jewish law, a male is considered sufficiently mature from the age of 13, and a female from the age of 12,
to be held responsible for the standards of conduct and free choice required of an individual by the ethics
and standards of Judaism.
And that's what "bar mitzvah" and "bat mitzvah" are all about.
The main reason why these occasions are seen as occasions for celebration by parents is that before
the child reaches that age, guess who is responsible and accountable for the child's misbehavior . . .
Where do you have a bar mitzvah?
The bar mitzvah can be held more-or-less absolutely anywhere at all, so long as there are at least 10 men there aged 13 or more.
Some boys are bar mitzvah outdoors, some at the Kotel (the Western Wall in Jerusalem) but most are bar mitzvah in their local synagogue.
The party, which normally takes place the following day, which celebrates the bar mitzvah can be held anywhere you like, but only kosher food should be served.
If the boy has now become the man, let's start him off on the right foot.

What is the Jewish boy to manhood celebration?
A Jewish boy doesn't have to go through anything to show anything.
When a Jewish boy turns 13 years of age, he becomes a Bar Mitzvah.
That's whether or not he or anybody else knows or cares about it. He --
the boy -- has become a Bar Mitzvah. Past that age, he, the boy, is now
responsible and accountable for his own choices, behavior, and actions,
related to being Jewish, which really means related to how he lives his life.
In a family to whom the practice of Judaism is important, this occasion in the life
of their son is an occasion to celebrate. For one thing, he's now counted as an
adult in the synagogue, for the first time, and one part of the celebration may
consist of his full participation and leadership in the worship service for the first
time. For another thing, there may even be a dinner, a party, a reception, a gift,
or other special kinds of celebration.
But the synagogue service is not the Bar Mitzvah, and the party is not the Bar Mitzvah.
The boy is the Bar Mitzvah. And with his new responsibility and accountability, it really
isn't fair to continue calling him a boy. In religious terms, in spiritual terms, and in Jewish
legal terms, he's a man. Whether or not he or anybody around him even knows it.

Gift to the child of an employee who invited boss to bar mitzvah?
Here are two suggestions. One: a hundred dollar bill. Two: go to a Hebrew bookstore (or look online in the Abebooks webpage) and buy a copy of Rejoice O Youth by Rabbi Avigdor Miller.
AnswerThere are two options when giving a gift for a bar mitzvah, the first is monetary and the second is a gift suitable for a 13 years old boy.In terms of monetary gifts, the Jewish tradition is to give multiples of 18. This is because the numerical value of the Hebrew word for life is 18. Depending on how close a relationship you have with your employee, a gift of $36 is acceptable unless you're very close with the family at which point a larger amount might be suitable.
Alternatively, in most communities, bar and bat mitzvahs register at local gift shops which makes it easier to pick out a gift that they'll actually like. If you'd like to take this option, you could as your employee if their child registered somewhere.

Would a iron bar repel to another iron bar?
If i get your question right, you're asking if an iron bar can just repel another iron bar; saying the distance between them would become bigger without doing anything.
The answer is no. Iron bars would only repel each other if both have been given the same polarity.
In example, if you make sure both bars are positive, they will repel. If both are negatively loaded, they will repel too.
If one is positive and the other negative, however, they will attract each other.
Hope i got your question right, and this helps you...
Is 36 too little to give from a boy to a bar mitzvah?
Obviously, it is a difficult thing to tell someone how much money they should give as an appropriate gift for a Bar Mitzvah, since everyone's financial situation is very different and every Bar Mitzvah participant expects different levels of gratitude from different people. However, $36 is perfectly appropriate as a gift to give your classmate for his Bar Mitzvah, even though it would probably be an inappropriate amount for a close, working relative.

The amp rating of a panel is based on the size of materials used (the bars, etc). You can pull 400 amps through your panel (provided a 400amp breaker was in place); but it would probably melt down very quickly. Basically you have 100 amps total to play with: be it from two 50amp breakers or 30 subpanels pulling 3 amps. :D You just can't pull more than 100amps at one time or the main will trip. The 100 amps is a rating for each bar. If your panel has a 100 amp double pole breaker, then you can use up to 100 amps on each pole. You really shouldn't draw more than 80 amps continuously. But you can count on having that 160 amps avilable if all your loads use only one hot leg of the panel (120 volt loads instead of 240).
