As a young boy, Polish-born Yisrael Kristal looked forward to turning 13 when he could celebrate his bar mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ritual. But that was 1916 and World War I crushed that hope. Little did he know that he would wait a century for that ceremony.



Kristal barely survived the next world war as a prisoner in Auschwitz. After WWII, he rebuilt his life in Israel, raising a family and opening a business. Earlier this year, he was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest man.



But the milestone event that marks a Jewish boy's passage to adulthood eluded Kristal until this week when he finally celebrated his bar mitzvah, at the age of 113, surrounded by two children, nine grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren in Haifa, Israel.



There's more good stuff to this in the link - Apart from my personal negative feelings on heavy religious rites, he's quite  a guy and a great example for all of us

Great story DM. I would have thought the oldest person in the world was in Japan though.

Of course, no doubt he narrowly escaped from the imaginary gas chambers aswell.   :oeudC:



Its funny how many survivors there are from the supposedly 'murderous death camps' isn't it?  



But hey, they gotta keep that victim status going if they want those shekels to carry on rolling in....... the Hollowco$$t industry has already netted them millions, if not billions over the years.

Did you know you'd be flat on your back counting the lights if you mouthed off like that IRL?
