DD is invited to attend her friend's Bat Mitzvah (morning ceremony+lunch, and evening reception). She's very excited about this, even though she has no idea what to expect (we're not Jewish).

Would you please share:
- Should she bring a gift to the ceremony or reception or both? Just one gift, usually to reception but some bring to ceremony.

- How long is the ceremony? Do the attendees need to be quiet at all times? Is it weird for me to attend the ceremony (the invitation is for DD). She is well-behaved most of the time, but I don't know how she would react to novel, unexpected situation. I just want to make sure things go smoothly since it's such an important event for her friend.
2-2.5 hours or longer depending on the type of ceremony. You can check with teh temple or the parents. DD attended 6-7 last year and I think nearly all were open meaning anyone could drop in but many did require you to send in a covid test so in reality the only people who dropped in are members of the congregation.
Many kids take bathroom breaks, just sit in the back.

- Any other tips?[/quote]
