[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to ask it, but are these events just a gift grab?  Inviting business colleagues the child has never met who don’t even share the same faith seems like it’s reaching pretty far.  Clearly having you at the event is not personally meaningful for the child, so are they just casting a wide net for some other purpose?[/quote]

I have a lot of close friends at work. These are people I see everyday. My kids are pre Bar Mitzvah age, but I'll likely invite several work friends because we are close and it is a big family celebration.  [/quote]

Christian here.  I've been to several Bat/Bar Mitzvahs.

The first invitation was from someone who worked for my DH before we had kids.  We were honored to be invited and were very impressed with the ceremony.  Totally blown away by the party which was quite extravagant.  (It was twin girls.)  Really impressed with the kids who were there and how the adults and the young teens all had a great time.

Since then, we've been invited by neighbors and friends of our kids.  Always impressed by the ceremony and the party.  Again, loved how much fun everyone has--kids and adults.

And, the work and effort that goes into the ceremony and reading Hebrew is interesting and impressive.[/quote]
