[quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe these posts about declining, skipping the service, or being annoyed about having to drive a child somewhere after a service. This isn’t a birthday party. It’s a big deal. When I was growing up, a parent would sit in the synagogue parking lot with a book until the service was over. I had a few acquaintances who were conservative, and they did a reception right after and then the party at night and their community was too far across town to go home in between, so it was a ton of waiting. But my Catholic parents also realized that it was important and made sure I could be there to celebrate properly. And yes, I attended bar mitzvahs without knowing any other guests as well as those of people I barely knew but who invited me. It’s fun and it’s also very good practice for being an adult.[/quote]
