[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throw $20 in a card.[/quote] Uh, no. That is undermining all the YEARS of hard work it took to get to this day. [/quote] Stop. Any gift is appreciated. Multiples of 18 are traditional. - parent of recent bar mitzvah kid [/quote] I agree. Anything is appreciated. But the attitude of "throw $x in a card" is trivializing the occasion. The attitude, not the amount. [/quote] You can gently place $x in a card and say a blessing over the card and money and future of the child but realistically most people are just throwing money in a card. It’s not undermining, it’s just realistic and shows op they’re overthinking this. The joy should always come from celebrating achievements and being together, never from money or gifts, imo. Perhaps we just hold different views on what’s important. [/quote]
