My friend works in a Jewish school district, and she knows a few kids who went this Batsmitvah. These kids said that the invitation was a box- you opened up a box and in it was a disk man. And when you pressed play it was a recorded invitation.
I am grateful to give my kids the view from the otherside of the tracks, so when they become successful, they can show how far they climbed. lol.
Sounds like Daddy was trying to buy friends for his baby.
Kinda sad.
I take it he sent out 1,000 invitations to his own Barmitvah 34 years ago and his 10 cousins and the gentile neighbor were the only ones who showed.
I don't care how he spends his money.
But this sounds a hell of alot like a Dennis Kozlowski moment, I hope the IRS looks into it. I pay 100% of the taxes I owe, I don't want dishonest deductions taken by people to fund this kind of stuff.
