Rites of passage

Roll up, roll up, roll up!  Welcome to the spectaculous!  the fantasgamorical! the excessiveolo! London barmitzvah.

My nephew is getting married having his barmitzvah!  I was very proud seeing him read out his little prepared speech about being a worthy soul (very intentionally funny actually),  and photos in the synagogue.  But I just cannot believe how many different elements there are to this.  The kid is 13 - he's not doing this is your life after 90 years.
so this is what I'm on about where attendance has been required -
1.  video session for relatives at dress rehearsal the week before .
2. Friday night service the night before
3.  saturday morning in synagogue
4.  party in evening at a london restaurant
5.  visit to western wall in Jerusalem
6.  party with relatives in Israel
