premise: I ' ve been to a fair number of bar / bat mitzvahs before , but I think they were all in Reform temples , with a lot of English . This was a good deal more conservative , and * very * Hebrew - heavy , with just a bit of leavening of English , and instructions from the Rabbi to now flip to page 306 . ( Those of us who did n't know the liturgy were page - flipping frantically as it bounced around . Where will they go after the bat mitzvah ?
hypothesis: They will go to a   nice reception .
