Jesus's Bar Mitzvah was in Bethlehem wasn't it?

If you're referring to the episode in the Temple that's described in Luke 2, that was in Jerusalem. However, that text does not describe a Temple service, but only an educational conversation. Jesus was not of the Tribe of Levi, and would not have acted in any Temple rituals.

It seems more probable that He became Bar Mitzvah and read from the Torah in his home synagogue in Nazareth.

YOu are right, I just read it, and it doesn't say anything about it in Luke, or in the other books.
