How old is a Jewish boy at his Bar Mitzvah?

MaggieG 5

A boy retains his religious maturity and becomes responsible to fulfill all Torah commandments at the age of 13. A girl becomes equally responsible one full year earlier, at the age of 12, corresponding to her earlier maturation. Bar-Mitzvah literally means "Son of Mitzvah," which describes the young man now responsible to do all Mitzvot (commandments). Bat-Mitzvah literally means "Daughter of Mitzvah," or the young woman now responsible to observe all of her Mitzvot. This occasion is cause for great celebration and gratitude to God, and hence the Bar- or Bat-Mitzvah ceremony. Note: One becomes Bar- or Bat-Mitzvah automatically on one's twelfth or thirteenth birthday, with or without a party! Oct 03 03, 7:11 PM
