What is the difference between Bar Mitzvah and Brit Milah?
XD There is a big difference indeed! a) Brit Milah is a religious Ceremony (the circumcision is ordained by G-d) where the parents must ask a mohel to circumcise their son on the 8th day after his birth. b) Bar Mitzvah is ceremony when the young boy aged 13 years old, read in public at the Synagogue from the Torah (manuscript written in Hebrew in calligraphy without vocalisation). Usually after it the Rabbi says a little “homily” or sermon and congratulates the young man as 13 after this ceremony, a Bar Mitzvah is declared adult spiritually and must keep all the commandments of the Torah (613).
