My better half's granddaughters Batmitzah was today. It was to begin at 9:00 this morning so we drove down early to get a parking place near the synagogue. I had never been to a Batmitzah so it was all new to me. It was a lovely service with the Rabbis, Cantor and the granddaughters presentation. She did a great job. It was very impressive. My better half is Jewish but is not a practitioner. His daughter and her family are. Granddaughter is now considered of age in the faith as I understand it. She is 13 and a beautiful girl, next year it will be the other granddaughter turn. It was a good experience. Have you ever been to a Batmitzah?

I have never been to any of the jewish faith's interactions. It would be interesting.

The father of my husband was Jewish, but her mother was Catholic and that one was the religion they choose for my husband.

@RubyHawk My husband was born soon after WWII I think you can imagine that his mother thought that was safer to choose for him to be Catholics. The horror of what just happened was too high.

@LadyDuck I can imagine, my better halfs grandparents were made to dig their graves and were murdered by their neighbors.. It was a horrible time.

I suppose it's hard when you have to choose one or the other.
