[quote=Anonymous][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]

Most kids aren’t sitting through anything - they’re running around in groups outside of the sanctuary, sneaking snacks and just having fun. Most will sit while their friend reads their Torah portion but otherwise they aren’t sitting there. If the whole family is invited it would be ok for just an adult to attend but someone should definitely go to the service and not just the party. [/quote]

This was last year for DD and she attended more than a dozen and no one was running around outside during the service. Yes you need to sit through it but you can also take breaks by leaving the room if your child is particularly fidgety. DD did say some boys known to have ADHD took multiple "breaks" but it was always alone and in a respectful way. [/quote]

I agree.  I have never seen kids running around a synagogue or snacking during a service.  Please do not tell your child this is the norm.[/quote]

Agree. Little kids might be running around and occasionally snacking. But not the tweens. [/quote]
