Hey, it's his money, or at least it better be. But I do know that were I a famous rock star there's no way I'd do a 15-minute set at somebody's birthday party for a lousy five hunnert thousand d...

Uh...

What key did you want me to play that in, sir?

Why do some people get so warped out as to how someone spends their own money.

I've always thought bar and bat mitzvah's were basically religious in intent. Or so my Jewish friends tell me. They are the Jewish boy or girl's first aliyah (reading of the Torah) .
The party afterwards was just a chance for the family & friends to congratulate the girl or boy and welcome his or her entrance into the Jewish community.
I've been to a fair number of bar and bat mitzvahs although I am not Jewish. Some of the parties were very nice, but, needless to say, none were quite so over the top.
The religious nature of the event appears to me to be lost when you indulge in this sort of excess.
But as several have said, it's their money and their private business what they do with it.
Her wedding is going to be pretty anti climactic!

Gee, all I got for my Confirmation was a slap in the face and a guilt conscience.

This is disgusting.

Jews are homeless and destitute from Gush Katif disengagement and Hurricane Katrina and this creep pisses away $10 million on a freaking teenage party.

This is shameful.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

God bless his daughter on her Bat Mitzvah.
