[quote=Anonymous]1) The service is open to the community. You can attend that with your child if you are interested. The service is the meaningful part of the day and its a little insulting if your kid skips it in favor of the party because the child has prepared for a year or more. The Bar or Bat Mitzvah child will lead the service including reading from the Old Testament in Hebrew, delivering a speech interpreting it, and sharing reflections on growing up. 2) In my expereince, the kids all sit together and are pretty well behaved, with occaisional shushing from adults around them. Dress as you would for any religious occaision - conservatively. Typically, no bare shoulders for girls and suits or khakis and blazers for boys. 3) The pick ups and drop offs are usually well organized by the host families, particualrly at the evening parties. Carpools are often formed among the parents of other classmates going so you can share the driving. [/quote]
