OK, so last night’s Simpsons episode was “Today I Am A Clown.”
It was better than the Simpsons has been lately, but I was bugged by one thing.
The basic plot was that Krusty could not get a star on the “Jewish Walk of Fame” because he’d never had a bar mitzvah, and was therefore “not Jewish.”
Bullshit.
You actually don’t “have” a bar mitzvah…you are made bar mitzvah (“bar mitzvah” basically means “adult Jewish man”). And you don’t need a ceremony for it to happen. All you have to do is turn 13. Poof. You’re now bar mitzvah.
That is all.
