A Bar Mitzvah is a "Son of the Commandments". It signifies that someone is old enough to be morally responsible for his own actions. The "becoming of age" is often celebrated by the young man leading a religious services at age 13. However, even without the ceremony, at 13, he is a bar mitzvah and religiously responsible for his own actions. In modern day U.S. Jewish cultures, a young man's bar mitzvah is often celebrated with additional receptions and parties. In some places these celebrations have become birthday extravaganzas.

  • A bar mitzvah was a type of Human coming of age ceremony. A bar mitzvah was an observation from the religion of Judaism.

  • A Bar Mitzvah is an Aramaic term referring to a paternalistic Jewish religious ceremony dating back to ancient times. The purpose of the ceremony was not known until recently, when it was discovered Bar Mitzvahs were a way to exclude others in the community by pretending you knew something they didn't. Under the guise of "becoming a man," the 13-year-old Bar Mitzvah boy -- aka BM Boy -- would see how long he could make up gibberish words. This is because the only source of entertainment is watching the BM Boy blush while his voice cracks.
