We are immigrants who were not exposed to the Jewish religion before coming to this country. My DD was invited to a Bat Mitzvah and we googled about it.  DD wore a temple-appropriate outfit and we gave money that was a multiple of $18 in a card.

When I went to pick her up, I was quite surprised to see how inappropriately some of the other American non-Jewish girls were dressed.  I think it is not hard to read up on these things nowadays and follow the etiquettes of not only gift-giving but how to dress and conduct oneself. Really, there is no excuse.  [/quote]

What is "appropriate dress"? I'm curious to see which bigotry you are applying here. Top #3 guesses so far are mysogyny, chauvinism, and religious supremacy. [/quote]

NP here but shoulders covered is the norm. [/quote]

And that's absolutely not something that "Jewish girls" do but "non-Jewish" girls don't. So that would be in the category of "religious supremacy" with a maybe on mysogyny. [/quote]
