Question
From what age can a boy who has become Bar Mitzvah lead others in Kiddush, Zimun, and Havdalah?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
In Zimun and Havdalah, he can lead others immediately after he turns thirteen. Regarding the Kiddush on Friday night, it is customary to be stringent and not allow him to lead until he has definitely grown two hairs.
