Well in my recollection, First Communion, was the biggest thing, confirmation was like, eh
Still remember Bobby Hill saying. "The catholic and jewish boys getting a ceremony, us protestant kids get noting".

What is the difference between a Catholic Confirmation and a Jewish Bar Mitzvah?The Catholic kids aren't expected to read from and interpret the Torah?

Still remember Bobby Hill saying. "The catholic and jewish boys getting a ceremony, us protestant kids get noting". My Germanic-Dutch/catholic relatives gave nothing for confirmations. I was always jealous of my Italian catholic-school classmates who would collect $$ many hundreds on their first communions and confirmations. Let's not even get into weddings....

I’m no expert, but it seems to me the required learning Jewish Bar Mitzvah is about 100 times harder than confirmation. I had a Jewish boss and went to his son’s Bar Mitzvah. I went to a couple of others, too. I was amazed how much the kids had to learn and memorize.

I’m no expert on Catholic (or other more ritualistic denominations) confirmations, but I never got the impression it was treated like a big personal party declaring the child to be an adult.

Well, this protestant boy got circumcised and nobody asked me.

I haven’t been to either for a very long time, but I remember the food being much better at bar mitzvahs.

Not much really, they are both superstitious made up ceremonies to appear religious.

We had confirmation in our Congregational church. It’s when they expected you to fill your own envelopes.

Not all Catholic Confirmations are done as kids. Adults who came to Catholicism from the various Protestant and Orthodox churches, or simply no church at all, can be confirmed.
I was at 27 years old.

I had my first gin & tonic (age 9) at my next door neighbor’s bar mitzvah reception. Catholic friends Confirmation parties, just wine. Call me biased, but there it is.

As a Catholic I really respect and am in awe of the young Jewish men that have to learn and recite so much of the Torah for their Bar Mitzvah.
