[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG are you kidding me?  how about kids growing up and realize they are not going to get invited to everything and the parents telling them that that is life not some situation that requires some other 13 year old who wants his or her party favors to be a shirt to change their plans because some oversensitive kid who he doesn't even know.

It's fine not to invite everyone. It is obnoxious to give out t-shirts and other things that rub it in people's faces. It also just sets the seeds for narcissism. No kid needs all his friends to have a t-shirt bragging they went to his bar mitzvah. If he's Barak Obama, then give out the t-shirts Obama earned the recognition. Having your parents spend thousands to celebrate your birthday in a ceremony [b]that in Jewish tradition is supposed to be MODEST, is too much. It used to be about celebrating manhood not making a kid feel like a celebrity. Part of teaching our kids values is to have them THINK about other people's feelings.[/b] [/quote]

The extravagance of these celebrations has created a negative connotation to what it really means to be Bar/Bat mitzvah'd.[/quote]
