[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$18 is cheap. This is not a regular party. This is a huge, huge deal, that the child spent MONTHS preparing for, that the parents spent THOUSANDS of dollars on (even for a less expensive bar mitzvah). $18 is an insult and not just fine at all.

I really hope this is a joke.  If not and you are Jewish, you give the rest of us a bad name.  I agree that a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is a big deal, but really the party is not.  The ceremony is the important part.[/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean by joke, but $18.00 is not appropriate.  At least cover the cost of your (or child's) dinner, dancing, table favors, etc.  The money is supposed to go into a trust fund for college.  BTW, savings bonds are also an xlnt way to go.  I've bought them many times for bar mitzvahs.[/quote]

You seem a little dense. News flash- you don't hold a wedding and expect to recoup the costs. Same goes for Bar Mitzvahs. I probably spent $25k on a wedding and didn't expect to get that back in gifts. You give others of your faith a bad name by constantly repeating your statement. Go read Miss Manners. Oh, and it doesn't matter if you plan to start a college fund. Would you tell wedding guests you want cash only for your house down payment?[/quote]
