34. You know, Kansan, that lots of Jewish kids have their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in Israel.
My son in law did. And he's a staunch liberal.
I'm going to chalk some of the replies on this thread this up to just not knowing many Jews and what their religion might expect of them. I know my granddaughter had to study on weekends in classes and at home for her Bat Mitzvah and I have another one doing the same for her Bat Mitzvah in another year. One of the requirements is for good works, service to people and for justice. Altho I am not Jewish, my granddaughters are. I think many people on this board would be well served to find out more about American Jewish customs...such as having Bar Mitzvahs in Israel...before ascribing some dark motives to them.
