[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]

A bar/bat mitzvah is a celebration that recognizes adulthood or at least the premise of adulthood.  I'm not sure what would hold back a Christian mom from pride in that, especially the incredible amount of work the 12/13 year old puts into it -- learning the Hebrew, learning the sacred texts, writing a speech, working on charitable products.  I'm befuddled by the notion that a mom of another faith would not take pride in these accomplishments.  Maybe I'm missing something but what about the Bar Mitzvah would cause you to be less than proud as a Christian?  What in your "Christian values" would be offended or discouraged by this ceremony?  Failure to accept JC as one's savior?  Because if you are looking for your children to do that, then this decision is not going to work for you.[/quote]
