How sickening. I've coached in one of the communities that were named in the article, and I can totally see it happening there (in addition to many other places). The invitations, favors, decorations, etc. that go along with a typical North Shore bar mitzvah are beyond belief. Emulating a religious rite of passage just have a good time is WAY out of line. If you must keep up with the Goldbergs, call it a 13th birthday party and hold it in a banquet hall, but do NOT hold it in a synagogue and call it a "Faux Mitzvah". That's my $.02, as a Catholic married to a Jew.
