[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too, got screamed at and "outed" (???????? there was nothing to "out" me for) as a past parent noting that the school is situation in an Eruv so there are a number of Jewish students.  If you happen to hit the school at age 12 your son or daughter will spend a lot of weekends going to bar and bat mitzvahs.  After ten of these , we finally had to tell DS that there just could be no more unless it was a close close friend because they were so disruptive on the weekends, taking up Sat morning, Sat night, lots of driving, then sleep schedules were all wacked out Sunday morning.  We had a second home we couldn't visit that entire year because of the mitzvahs.  Now I'll be screamed at again or "outed" (so bizarre) or called anti-semitic (just go try since I'm Jewish).[/quote]

You sound like a selfish lunatic.

Gentile here who thought that the bar/bat mitzvahs (service and celebrations) added a lot to DD's middle school experience.  She learned about other religions, gained confidence in various social situations, and quite frankly was happy to support her classmates in one of the biggest days of their lives.  She never complained about going, even when the service was 3 hours long.  She loved all the parties whether they were fancy or casual.

I'm happy that my DD was invited to as many as she was (upwards of 20).  What's the other side of it... that your child would not be invited?  That sounds great...  for you and your second home visiting...  blech. [/quote]
