Bar Mitzvah

bar mits-va

Barmitzvah
Explanation

When a Jewish boy is 13 years old, he can become a ‘Son of the Commandment’ which means that he is considered an adult in religious ceremonies and responsible for his own religious duties. This is usually marked by a ceremony at the synagogue and a family celebration.

Context

“In becoming a Bar Mitzvah, I am promising to keep God’s Commandments.”
