[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP if you have to use the words "irking me" to describe how an invite was written there's something wrong with you. It's very common to leave the end time open but if you call the temple they can give you an esitmate.[/quote]
