What is a Bar Mitzvah? According to Jewish law, a boy is deemed a "bar mitzvah" when he turns 13 and achieves the status of adulthood. A Jewish girl becomes a "bat mitzvah" when she turns 12. At this auspicious time they become full-fledged Jewish adults and are presented with both the opportunity to grow spiritually and the responsibility to become a better person. Girls achieve the status of adulthood a year earlier than boys because girls typically mature physically and emotionally earlier than boys, ready to embrace the responsibility adulthood entails.
