[quote=Anonymous]Going to Israel for 12 hours is insane. Don't do it. Either decline -- that's the risk when you have a destination event -- or take the whole family for longer. We recently had to go to my Orthodox niece's bat mitzvah in Israel (they live there, so it wasn't a destination event) and it wasn't that bad. Orthodox girls aren't allowed to read from the Torah or in the sanctuary, so it was really just an extended dinner in the social hall. My DH and I did lots of eye rolling, but it wasn't the many hours long service in a segregated synagogue that you're envisioning. And regardless of what you think about Israel or its politics/policies, there is some amazing history there and it's an incredible place to visit.[/quote]
