[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a Christian women (and did not convert) who married a Jewish men and are raising the children Jewish.  Just wondering how hard it was to come to this decision and if you genuinely were proud about the bar mitzvah celebrations. [/quote]

I've been in that situation 2x and couldn't have been prouder of my DC. It helps that our temple is exceptionally supportive of interfaith families and that I'm not ambivalent about [b]my decision to raise Jewish children[/b].

Yeah, OP this seems deeper than the bar mitzvah issue.  It seems like you are not fully onboard with raising your kids Jewish.  Even with that, I would think you could be proud of the accomplishment and all the work that goes into the bar mitzvah service, at least in many congregations.  (I've been proud of neighbor's kids who have a done a good job.)  But if you are ambivalent about how your kids are being raised, I could see how it might create some problems for you, even though questioning whether you could be proud of your kid seems a somewhat strange way to express it.[/quote]
