Bar Mitzvah

A Bar/Bat Mitzvah is one of the most significant days in a jewish person’s life and an occasion he / she remembers for the rest of his / her life. It is celebrated as a milestone, a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood.
In many Conservative and Reform synagogues, girls celebrate their Bat Mitzvahs at age 12 and boys at age 13. Precisely what the Bar/Bat Mitzvah may do during the service varies in Judaism's different denominations and can also depend on the specific practices of various congregations.
