Concept information

Preferred term

bar mitzvah  

Definition(s)

  • Bar Mitzvah means “son of commandment,” a rather elliptical term connoting that a young Jewish male has reached the age of majority, and thus become obligated to perform ritual commandments. A child reaching Bar Mitzvah age may be counted toward the 10 adults required for a prayer quorum. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Bar/Bat Mitzvah]
