The bar/bat mitzvah is another significant Jewish custom that celebrates the coming-of-age of a Jewish child. It typically occurs at the age of twelve for boys and thirteen for girls. While the exact origins are unclear, references in the Hebrew Scriptures suggest an age of accountability and responsibility. The New Testament provides an account of Jesus’ bar mitzvah, where he amazed rabbis with his wisdom. This custom signifies a young person’s increased responsibility for their faith and adherence to Jewish laws and traditions.
