[quote=Anonymous]The micro level antisemitism in a lot of these responses is really hard to take. These kids work incredibly hard to prepare for this day and families are trying to warmly include friends and family in celebration of that accomplishment. That’s it! We know that non-Jewish guests may not be familiar with certain aspects of the service and party, so we try to communicate it but of course are happy to answer any/all questions. The invitation is not a summons. If you have a conflict, you have a conflict. But hearing it described as obnoxious or interpreting the invites as gift grabs is pretty heartbreaking. If I were invited to a christening or baptism, I would have very little idea what to wear/bring/length of event. Same for quincinera or a multi day Indian wedding. But I would ask and would be honored and excited to join in the joy of the host family.[/quote]
