[quote=Anonymous]" I’m resentful of even local bar/bat mitzvahs when the families are clearly secular. If you are truly religious, I get it. Else, it’s just a HUGE gift grab."

Anyone who believes this is wrong. A bar and bat mitzvah is an incredibly intense thing a young person goes through. They work their butts off, for many years to learn this foreign language, and chanting from the Torah is intensely difficult! It's in a foreign language, even the letters are different, and Torah is written with no vowels.  And they are chanting solo in front of relatives and friends - because that's something they would just love to do at anytime - NOT!

You "think" someone is "clearly secular?"  How dare you! Religion is an intensely personal thing, and you have no idea what others think. As far as a gift grab, I assure you, as someone who has thrown 3, the cost of the event is several times more than whatever the kid gets in cash and gift cards.

Try learning about other people's religion, rather than being so judgmental. Because all of you who think this are just plain wrong.[/quote]
