Yisrael Kristal, world's oldest man, finally gets a bar mitzvah
Yisrael Kristal, 113, considered by Guinness World Records to be the world’s oldest man, celebrated his bar mitzvah 100 years after Jewish boys traditionally mark this rite of passage.
The ceremony took place at his local synagogue in the Israeli city of Haifa in October.
Kristal, who survived the Auschwitz death camp where his first wife died (his two children from that marriage died in the Nazi-controlled Lodz ghetto), was born in Poland on September 15, 1903.
