[quote=Anonymous]This is about a religious ritual, not an entire religion. There is nothing about a Bat Mitzvah that is necessary to a child's growth. I say that as someone who had one who has witnessed the over the top display these rituals have become. Why insist any child do this? it is not the same as insisting your kid be kind to others or insisting your child get educated so he/she can get a job. It had meeting in a very different time and place, when a 13 year old was taking on adult responsibilities. No child needs a 50,000 party and a film about their life to become a better person. The child is not rejecting the religion. The child does not want to participate in one ritual. The responses on here though are fascinating. Nobody is questioning offering Judaism to the child, just pushing a ceremony that some question is not even that applicable to modern day.[/quote]
