> Bar Mitzvah.

What’s that? I’ve heard the words before, but have no idea what they mean. Is it a book or something?

:’) The Bar Mitzvah is a process and ceremony boys undergo to enter both manhood and to become adult Jews. :’) In the US at least, there’s the Bat Mitzvah, which was devised (I believe in this country) in the past hundred years or so as the analogous process and ceremony for girls.
