Is It Highway Robbery For The Parents To Keep The BarMitzvah Gifts To Pay Off The Catering Hall?Holdup : Stealing Man Stock Photo

I was Bar Mitzvaded in April of 1962, like many Bar Mitzvah boys i studied my Tuchas off ,6 hrs a day of learning to sing the Haf Torah and all the trimmings.I was ever bit as good a a young Moisher Oysher , Having been home schooled by my Great Uncle Phil. Silver, who grew up with Moisher Oysher and went to the same Shule in Montreal with him, his Brother Daniel Silver Himself was a Famous Big Time Chassan from Montreal.
My parents like many Parents in the 50's and 60's ,wanted to impress everyone so they rented a catering hall that they couldn't afford, How in the world can they pay for it you might ask, simple , keep all the cash gifts and bonds.every Jewish man in my age bracket knows what I'm Referring to. It s just not right ,I tell everyone Who not Jewish that if their invited to a Bar mitzvahs to ask the father of the Bar Mitzvah Boy if he is letting the kid keep the presents '' all the presents '' if they say no . then , don't go , the parents are making a shame out of a sacred act. My parents and all those who stole their kid ' s Bar Mitvah gelt Fashaired our simca.. Write us at Moses newscom and tell us your experience on this subject , we'd like to hear from you

Holy shit and i thought my parents were the only ones that did that. I guess its a jewish tradition handed down through generation after generation, They held on to $150 for me to spend in the future and the rest of the gelt paid for the bar mitzvah
 
maybe thats the tradition they were singing about in Fiddler on the roof. you got $150 more that I got I got bubkus,
