Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf never experienced the rite of passage common for boys in his faith as they make the transition from adolescence to adulthood: a bar mitzvah. At the time he turned 13, the age for the ritual, it was out of favor among Reform Jews. So at age 70, the end of a biblical life span in Jewish tradition, the rabbi reset the clock.
