A bar mitzvah is a coming-of-age ceremony for boys, observed in Judaism when they turn thirteen. It marks the attainment of religious maturity and the beginning of their responsibility as adults in the Jewish community. The bar mitzvah ceremony is traditionally conducted in a synagogue, with the boy reading from the Torah and leading part of the service.
In addition to the religious aspects, the bar mitzvah is also a social occasion, celebrated with a party attended by family and friends. The bar mitzvah party is where the boys and their families can really add some personality to the occasion.
