Is it okay to allow my 12-year-old daughter to go to a Bat Mitzvah that she’s been invited to? Or is it best to skip the ceremony and just attend the reception?
Yes, it’s okay for your daughter to attend her friend’s Bat Mitzvah. Catholics may attend non-Christian religious ceremonies on occasion, particularly if they are there merely as non-participating guests.
