[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think my kids can sit through a 3 hour service. Could one adult attend the service instead and the rest join later at the party?[/quote]

Kids and adults tend to take breaks and talk outside and then come back in at temples where the service is 3 hours. Also the service may not be 3 hours (services at reform temples will be shorter). When my kids complain about being bored at temple, I always remind them that it is good for their brains to be bored sometimes. [/quote]

I think the three-hour services are only at Orthodox temples. I've gone to dozens of Saturday morning services at both Reform and Conservative temples and they've never hit even two hours.[/quote]

I’m not sure where you are from. I was raised around here in a conservative synagogue and go to a different conservative synagogue as an adult. I had friends as a kid ate very conservative synagogue in the area. All of my siblings and cousins go to different conservative synagogues. Every one has a service 2.5-3 hours. [/quote]
