The bar mitzvah – the Jewish “rite of passage” or confirmation – is a significant moment in the life of a Jewish person. It is the moment when young people become part of the community. Since he did not perform the bar mitzvah in his youth, Ariel Efraim Ashbel is making up for this perhaps most important Jewish ceremony today – on his 40th birthday in the summer of 2022.
