Bar Mitzvah Date
Question
Hi,
I wanted to check regarding my son who was born on the 30th of Shevat, 4/2/11 at 6 AM. On which days is it possible to hold his Bar Mitzvah?
Answer
Hello,
The actual date when he becomes Bar Mitzvah, meaning obligated in all the commandments as an adult, is Friday, the 30th of Shevat - 9/2/24.
The aliyah to the Torah can be advanced to Thursday, 10/2, or postponed to Shabbat or the following week.
If you are celebrating the Bar Mitzvah in a hall, etc., it is meaningful to celebrate on the same day. However, if it is inconvenient for you, you can celebrate before or after the date at a time that is convenient for you.
