Question
A boy whose Bar Mitzvah falls on Shabbat, and the main celebration is held on another day, what should be done on Shabbat?
Answer
Ideally, there should be a minyan of people eating bread. If this is not possible, then at least three people should be present, even if they are only eating mezonot (and not hamotzi).
