[quote=Anonymous]My son is almost 13, the he's started getting invitations to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs for his friends. I am a little unsure of the etiquette. Are Bar/Bat Mitzvahs usually held as part of a regular service (like a baptism would be) or are they something separate, like a wedding? If it's the former, would it be OK for me to attend services with him and then slip out before the lunch (the invitation says it's services and lunch, then a party that evening)? I think it would be daunting for my kind of shy kid to just come into a service in an unfamiliar congregation. In one case, he doesn't know the kid's family and I assume the honoree would be somewhere else preparing. Also, if he has a conflict for the service, but not for the party, would it be considered rude to attend the latter and not the former? I assume the opposite (attending the service and not the evening party) would be fine, would it? Am I way over thinking this?[/quote]
