[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing you aren't Jewish? If the ceremony is part of the regular service it can be quite long. If you post the temple people can probably give you a sense of that. One of my cousins kids was bar mitzvah'ed at a conservative temple and the service was 3 hours, others I've been to were shorter. When the service was specifically for the bar mitzvah those were more like an hour, and usually in the afternoon r ather than morning.[/quote]

I am not Jewish. [b]I don’t want to go[/b]. Ceremony is at a large temple and I wasn’t sure if I felt comfortable just dropping my son off.

DS wants to attend the ceremony.[/quote]

Then don’t go.

I think the answer you are looking for is, NO. Parents do not attend when their kids are invited to a Bar Mitzvah.

I drop off, kid gets out of the car, sees friends and rushes off. There is often transportation/party bus to the reception  after, OR parents pick up when ceremony is over and drive the kid to the party. Some kids skip the ceremony altogether and just attend the party. Either way, you stay home. [/quote]
