Bar Mitzvah | November 10, 2004

Bar Mitzvah is a Hebrew term which means “son [daughter] of the commandment”, meaning one who is obliged to fulfill the commandments of the Torah. The term denotes the arrival at religious and legal maturity and the occasion on which this status is formally assumed and celebrated. Talmudic law designates the age of religious and legal responsibility for boys as thirteen years plus one day, and for girls twelve plus one day.
