Okay, let's make a separate clip out of this. This will be part 18 of the Bar Mitzvah series. We just discussed the epic Bar Mitzvah of Yitzchak Avinu that Avraham Avinu made a Bar Mitzvah for Yitzchak because it's the day Yitzchak was weaned off of the yetzer hara. And we pointed out the reason the Medrash did not give the reasoning of the Yam Shel that the simcha of Bar Mitzvah is you get the simcha of mitzvah oseh is because in fact Yitzchak was not mitzvah oseh. I want to bring to your attention the Mishna Berurah which seemingly is citing the Yam Shel and giving the same the very reason of the Yam Shel and yet upon careful analysis the Mishna Berurah is offering an original reason for Bar Mitzvah that nobody ever said before no one has sent said since.

Because now he becomes a Jewish man She'Nitztavah B'Mitzvos HaTorah. He's commanded in the mitzvahs. Presumably this is exactly what the Yam Shel said the simcha of being mitzvah oseh. After all the Mishna Berurah said Achshav Nasa Ish Yisrael She'Nitztavah B'Mitzvos.
