Question: should a Bar Mitzvah be a religious or a secular celebration? I am rather disturbed about the fact that my 12 year old grandson who lives in the US has decided he wants a family vacation in Amsterdam for his Bar mitzvah and his parents are willing to bring in an American Rabbi (who lives in Mexico). I am confused and disturbed but as a grandparent living in Canada have little to say about it.
Thank you for your explanation, , Lydia Vermaas
