Bar Mitzvah Pilpul
This sefer presents some pilpulim for a bochur to learn and recite. Some of pilpulim pertain to a Bar Mitzvah, such as laws of Tefillin and becoming obligated in mitzvos. There are also also some pertaining to different Yamim Tovim, so if a bochur becomes Bar Mitzvah near a certain Yomtov, he can choose to speak about a topic connected to the Yomtov.
The pilpulim are adapted from the Rebbe’s Sichos, and have been distilled and organized to make it easier for a bochur to learn and recite.
