Question
I heard there is a month without Bar Mitzvahs, what is it about, and why?
Answer
This month [Adar I] does not have Bar Mitzvahs because thirteen years ago it was a simple year with one Adar. The Rema (Orach Chaim, siman 55, סעיף 10) writes that Bar Mitzvahs occur only in Adar II. [In the 19-year cycle, there are 7 leap years, most of which did not have a leap month 13 years prior, but some did have a leap month earlier, and in those years, Bar Mitzvahs also occur in Adar I].
