Anyone have or go to some interesting ones?

This year, they went as follows

MTV-themed with several Real World and Road Rules members invited

Take Me Out To The Ball game held at the baseball stadium with a couple of MLB players

Beach theme at a water park after hours

Themed Bar Mitzvahs? Now that's new. Mine sucked in comparison - at a synagogue and a reception at a 4 seasons hotel...lol.

When I was in Israel, a member of the group (30 jewish teens from omaha) recieved a 'suprise' bar-mitzvah at the western wall...he had not been bar-mitzvahed and the group co-ordinators and his parents planned a bar-mitzvah at the wall for him....that was awesome. (Especially the crazy old man giving blessings and then asking for some sheckels

)

I wish I had some good freinds that were Jewish just so I could have gone to one. I think I am secretly wishing I were jewish.

Sure, the bar mitzvah was fun, but the six months + of more than weekly hebrew and cantor lessons/practice wasn't!

But hey, the presents and $$$ made it worth it (evil grin)

Hey I'm not Jewish but there's someone in my ancestry that was Jewish and then forced to convert to Catholicism
I wear the Star of David that was given to her by her Jewish boyfriend
I babysit for a lot of Jewish families and this is how I ended up interested again

I went to a Bar and a Bat Mitzvah when I was a girl. They didn't have themes. There was a cotton candy machine at one which was cool!
