Overview
Thirteen is the age when a Jewish boy "becomes a man," marked by a ceremony both solemn and festive: the bar mitzvah. Today, as young boys embark on their bar mitzvah celebrations, they have many questions. Why does a bar mitzvah happen at age 13? Why does it take a whole year to prepare for one day? Where did these elaborate rituals come from, and how are they relevant in today's world? And, most important, what does it feel like to experience a bar mitzvah? Kimmel answers these questions and more, providing historical background, explanations of ceremonial objects and rituals, and real-life bar mitzvah stories -- funny, dramatic, and poignant -- many of which are told in the participants' own voices.
