When they were of age to understand what it meant, yes.

Ex. 12:26 "And it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you, 'What mean ye (you, not we) by this service?' 13 That ye shall say, ..."
Compare to Ex. 13:8 "And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is doen because of that which the LORD did unto me (not us)when I (not we) came forth out of Egypt.
Compare this to Dt. 6:20-21 (following the 10 commandments, ch. 5, and the Shema), "And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgements, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? 21 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand."
{I always thought this reference heightened the irony of the exchange between Jesus and the crowd, John 8:33, "We were never in bondage to any man! How sayest thou, Ye shall be made free." Yes, they were under Rome's yoke at the time, but they repeated the above covenantally on a regular basis.}
Here's two questions for a proP-C: what is the origin of the bar-mitzvah and it's signification? Why was Jesus up in Jerusalem for catechesis at age 12?

From Nigel Lee's Summary against Paidocommunion: Quote:
2, one's first communion at teenage signifies conversion (not regeneration);
3, Eucharist replaces the Passover (but not circumcision);
4, the 1st-century B.C. Hebrew Essenes (and even the Pharisees), like the Karaites till today,
restricted their Passovers to their (post-)adolescent males after prior catechization terminating in
their Bar Mitzvah not before age 13 (cf. Prov. 22:6's chanoch with Luke 2:40-47 and 22:1-20);
5, no females nor any preteenagers ever partook of the Passover till it was thus deformed by Post-
Christian Liberal Judaism (+/- 200 A.D.);

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98) Click to get: Board Rules -- Signature Requirements -- Suggestions?
