| A traditional bar mitzvah seudah was a family meal at home with the rabbi speaking to the boy about his new responsibilities. If this has come to spending from $30,000 to $500,000, someone has lost the plot. Bas Mitzvah, a recent innovation, was also a family gathering at home, not a debutant ball. We have lost the sense of modesty that is so basic to all Jewish values. `What does the L-rd want from you...to walk modestly with the L-rd your G-d.` |
