Encyclopedia > Bar (Aramaic)

Bar is the New Testament Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew word ben meaning son of.


Both bar and ben are prefixed to names, thus Peter is called Bar-jonah in Matthew 16:17 and possibly Nathanael is called Bartholomew because he is the son of Tolmai. The titles can also be figurative, for example in Acts 4:36_37 a man named Joseph is called Barnabas meaning son of consolation.

See the Aramaic of Jesus for more.

Jewish Bar Mitzvah Items Judaica (731 words)
It is important to note that a bar mitzvah is not the goal of a Jewish education, nor is it a graduation ceremony marking the end of a person's Jewish education.
Bar mitzvah is not about being a full adult in every sense of the word, ready to marry, go out on your own, earn a living and raise children.
Bar mitzvah is simply the age when a person is held responsible for his actions and minimally qualified to marry.
