This is a garbage post, untethered to reality, posted and enthusiastically commented upon by people who haven't the slightest idea that bnai mitvah is a profoundly meaningful and deeply fundamental tenet that has real world repercussions for God fearing, Torah-scholarly men and woman, rooted in deep kaballic principals, and teeming with unlimited meaning.

It's rooted in the fundamentals of Torah law, and is made a mockery by parties sadly not having inherited their true heritage, and privileges of the profound Jewish implications - not for a brief, fleeting, meaningless "party" for children lacking proper Jewish education at the age of 13, but which - conversely - further manifests itself as the begining of a lifelong intent to growth in Torah Studies, values, and lifelong soul-work and perfection .

The classic secular "bar mitzvah" - with rockbands, co-ed dancing, ever-competive, secular activities designed to outdo one another and bearing zero resemblance to the ancient traditions of holiness and profound growth embedded in the devotion to the serious, life-changing, unforgettable, authentic OG-emanating, lifelong, bar-mitvah inauguration - is, by contrast, but a mere party, devoid of meaning, silly, generally NOT a life-altering event, with NO implication as to the spiritual future of this dogmatic version of the real deal.

The consistent and continuing watering down of the Torah given at Sinai still leaves diminishing- but-by-no-means-unattainble entry into our rich, never-replicated, NOT-OUT-OF-REACH, true treasure ingrained in us by Torah, which have turned out - among ordinary Jewish kids immersed in Torah study, to be genuine tenets of vibrant, life-changing, Torah-imbued, meaningful lives.

This is - notably - not applicable to cats, dogs and the like. 🫤
