Bar Mitzvah
State Medal, 5738-1978

When a Jewish boy reaches the age of thirteen he is deemed to be an adult. It is traditional to mark the occasion at a public ceremony, and to end the religious ceremony with an appropriate feast in the boy's honor. Since the reunification of Jerusalem it has become increasingly popular to solemnize the occasion at the Western Wall. Since the establishment of the State, many Jews abroad have become converted to the idea of sending the Bar Mitzvah boy to Israel to observe the occasion. At times, organized groups of Bar Mitzvah boys have come with their parents, to participate in the ceremony. The first "Bar Mitzvah" medal was issued on the occasion of the State's thirteenth anniversary in 5721, 1961. After the issue was exhausted, a new medal was issued in 5738, 1978 based upon the original medal with some changes.
