[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, when you insult someone else's gift can you please say what religion you are? Because my guess is that it's all non Jews. Every Jewish person I know is focused on the celebration, not the gifts, and would be devastated to learn their child's friend(s) had not attended because the parents felt the "gift requirement" was too high.

FWIW, our religious school requires that we invite every child in the B'nai Mitvah class. That's 20 kids. It also gives a class gift to every B'nai Mitzvah and also specifically states in the handbook that children are not required to give separate gifts to every celebration they attend. If my son is close with the B'nai Mitzvah he does give an additional gift, but not every family does that.[/quote]

Also, in our circle nonJews and older Jews do the 18 thing. The Jewish kids all like to give each other gifts cards (because often the checks go in the bank; the cards are what the kids can spend). Even when you can choose the denomination I've never seen someone try to follow the 18 rule with a gift card. [/quote]
