bar mitzvah

• bar mitzvah is the entry of a jewish boy into the adult jewish community. the boy who has attained religious adulthood is called a bar mitzvah. the term means son of the commandments. the celebration of the occasion is also called a bar mitzvah.
  
  when a jewish boy reaches physical maturity, assumed to be the age of 13, he is responsible for all the observances, obligations, and prohibitions of a jewish adult. no formal religious ceremony is needed for this to happen. traditionally, however, a boy demonstrates his new status by participating in or, preferably, leading public worship. he may conduct a public service, read from the torah (law) in hebrew, or chant a portion from the biblical prophets. after the service, it is customary for the bar mitzvah's parents to host a party. friends, relatives, and members of the jewish community are invited to share in the festivities.
