[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not about exclusion - get over it.  Your kid can't be friends with everybody (and if they were invited to all of them you all would probably complain about how expensive 7th grade is because they keep being invited to all these mitzvahs!).  They will get t shirts or hoodies or whatever from the ones they go to, and won't from the ones they don't.

Our kids are at a public school with 350-400 kids per grade.  NO WAY would I invite all those kids to anything, let alone something as special as a mitzvah.  Clearly those of you in it for the party, who let your kids skip the service, have no idea how hard these kids work, how much effort goes into learning Hebrew, learning to chant Hebrew from the Torah, in front of a crowd of friends, family and strangers.  The party is a celebration of a life cycle event of huge importance in a Jewish person's life.  If you don't like it and think it's just a big party, either educate yourself, or just do everyone a favor, and skip it.  [/quote]

Eww.  You are an embarrassment, pp.  I’m 17:32 pp.  I’m Jewish, have kids in a big public school and fully understand the significance of a bar mitzvah and the hard work that goes into it.  Even had the big party to celebrate the achievement for kid 1 and will do the same for kid 2, but clearly did not invite anywhere near the whole class.  Yet somehow I didn’t feel the need to rub it in other kids’ faces by giving out t-shirts or hoodies.  [/quote]
