The Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place individually, around the time the Jewish boy celebrates his 13'Th Birthday.
Christian Confirmation takes place in groups, annually, in a High Mass

We had confirmation in our Congregational church. It’s when they expected you to fill your own envelopes.

Yeah, the Italians had it made. We all watched the Godfather. Tons of dough. Johnny Fontane sang at the wedding. Good times. Good times indeed.

Not much really, they are both superstitious made up ceremonies to appear religious. Why it's right there in the Bible, Johnson 44:14.

Of course, anything is comparable. Even apples and oranges. The answers to this question, though, are not very well known, but can be edifying for those who are edified. 😉

What is the difference between a Catholic Confirmation and a Jewish Bar Mitzvah? JESUS Roses are red-ish, Violets are Blue-ish
If it weren't for Jesus we'd all be Jewish

Well, this protestant boy got circumcised and nobody asked me.

Today they better get a signed consent form, from the actual patient.
Or else a woke mom might want to go trans from the start.

“The Catholic kids aren’t expected to read from and interpret the Torah?”
If they’re reading the pentateuch they’re basically reading the Torah.

Not all Catholic Confirmations are done as kids. Adults who came to Catholicism from the various Protestant and Orthodox churches, or simply no church at all, can be confirmed.
I was at 27 years old.

I was confirmed in the 1970s, and still, I got a saint’s name. It takes a while for changes from Rome to trickle down.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
I’m no expert, but it seems to me the required learning Jewish Bar Mitzvah is about 100 times harder than confirmation. I had a Jewish boss and went to his son’s Bar Mitzvah. I went to a couple of others, too. I was amazed how much the kids had to learn and memorize. Before Vatican II, Catholic children also had to do a massive amount of memorization from the Baltimore Catechism (or the equivalent in other countries) before they were able to receive their First Communion and Confirmation. Like everything else since the 1960's, that's since been dumbed way down.

I haven’t been to either for a very long time, but I remember the food being much better at bar mitzvahs. Catholics receive the body of Christ. Not much better food than that.
To: DallasBiff
I had my first gin & tonic (age 9) at my next door neighbor’s bar mitzvah reception. Catholic friends Confirmation parties, just wine. Call me biased, but there it is.

I’ve been to plenty of both, and I have to give the edge to Bar Mitzvahs.

I was confirmed in the Lutheran Church in 1964. I remember it was a tough experience.

"The answers to this question, though, are not very well known, but can be edifying for those who are edified. 😉" Unfortunately, for really oldsters like me, the answers to this question, though, are not very well known, but can be calcifying for those whose brains are calcified. 😳
