Bar MitzvahAug 26, 2008 | by Alisha | Read | No Comments

The literal translation of the Jewish phrase bar mitzvah is ’son of commandment’ and signifies a ‘responsible male.’ The Jewish Law holds that every Jewish boy, when steps into age 13, becomes a bar mitzvah. Upon becoming a bar mitzvah, the boy is obligated to abide by God’s commandments as laid down in the sacred Torah and as interpreted by Moses, the Prophets, the Sages and the Rabbis. The ancient bar mitzvah celebrations were characterized by giving the bar mitzvah an aliyah. The more contemporary bar mitzvah celebrations are characterized by the parents throwing their bar mitzvah boy a lavish party.
