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.
How was he hoping to honor with this excessive party for a 13 year old girl? It ceratinly wasn't the one we are supposed to honor.
This truly is disgusting, I agree. What a blatant anti-Jewish waste of wealth. A bat Mitzvah should be a day in which family and friends congratulate the little one as she graduates from being a girl to a (very) young woman. She is now in charge of her own behavior, on her own in choosing the right things to do, and she should learn from her parents how to stay on a more holy path. Feasting and enjoying oneself is OK, but this gross conspicuous display is sinful. A far better mitzvah would have been to donate that $$.
I read this story aloud to my bf last night. His nephew's bar mitzvah was a couple of weeks ago, and he and I speculated how much the reception cost. Lol!
Yes, this particular display was disgusting. You realize the party was more for him, than for his daughter.
