Coming-of-age rituals

Coming-of-age rituals mark the threshold between childhood and adult membership in a community, giving public form to internal transformation and clarifying new responsibilities. These practices—whether bar mitzvah, vision quests, or initiation ceremonies—work because they combine personal challenge with collective witness, making the transition undeniable both to the individual and society.
