Bat Mitzva Puns

Do you say someone 'had a' bar mitzvah, or that they 'were' bar mitzvah'd?

(god I loathe feeling so ignorant, but I'm trying not to sound stupid in this situation)

(My SO is Jewish, you'd think I could ask him, but he's in Bangkok and it's the middle of the night there.)

(but, secular. Somehow this just never came up in nearly 40 years. And he totally did it for the money).

edit: as a 'raised catholic', I finally figured out the question I was actually asking: Like with my confirmation, I can say both "I had a confirmation", and "I was confirmed". I just didn't know if that 'ritual' was similar in the Jewish faith. (Or if even the language was similar?)

Thanks to you guys who were so helpful as always :)

Forgive me if this is a completely dumb question but it is something that randomly popped into my head and I would like to know the answer. In the USA it is extremely common for ppl that are Jewish to have a bat/bar mitzvah, to the point where it’s strange if you don’t. However I never heard about Israeli Jews having them. For context I am Israeli but moved to the USA as a child and grew up here but I still keep in touch w family & friends in Israel and none of them ever had one and when I asked my Israeli parents if I could have one they were really surprised (I didn’t end up having one though bc we couldn’t afford it 😔). Idk if I’m just super out of the loop or if this really is a cultural difference, as I have noticed there is a huge difference between Israeli Jews and American Jews. Plz lmk !

*****edit: I meant the large party part of the bat/bar mitzvah. In the USA the parties are as big/extravagant as a wedding party. Most people rent out a venue and all of that. Like it is common for ppl to have merch for their bat/bar mitzvah. Is this common in Israel ? Or is it more low key like a regular bday party just w emphasis on it being a special one?

Since I started this posts series I always feared the Iceland episode because I have very two unpopular opinions. I hope it won't bother so many people XD

So let's do it fast. The unpopular opinions are really at the beginning

12th. hatrið mun sigra (2019) - ok people. I'm going to admit, I really do not love this song. maybe some of the beats at the beginning, because it's, sounds like boss battle music from some DOS game. but aside from this, nothing. I get why people like it, but it's not for me. 1 point.

11th. Think About Things (2020) - yes this is the second super unpopular opinion. I never liked this song. for some reason, it always annoyed me. sorry. 2 points.

wow... my two unpopular opinions went really fast. not that scary as I thought it would be

10th. Our Choice (2018) - well... one of the blandest songs. and the high note at the end wasn't necessary at all. Ari really looks like a nice person. but this song is not that nice. 3 points

9th. Unbroken (2015) - This song is a really beautiful one. but sadly, it's one of the cases that the song is good but it was butchered by poor staging choice in the show + nervous artist. Maria's voice was out of tune at some moments. as for the staging, I really don't know how Bat Mitvas look like outside Israel, but here, every Bat Mitzva looks like this performance. Almost in every bat mitzva the girl is going to sing and Maria's dress really looks like a typical bat mitzva dress. and the fact that Maria is not that tall person, it makes her look like a 12 years old girl during her bat mitva. all those decision just butcher the chances of this song to make it to the final. 4 points

8th. 10 Years - The better Dadi's song. I think it fixes many things that I did not liked in TAT. yet I wasn't that crazy about this song and it is not one of my personal qualifiers. sorry. 5 points.

7th. Coming Home (2011) - What a cute song. I love that everyone of them has at least one lines. their dynamic was really great. this song is really in the middle because I just like the other songs better. bit CH is indeed a solid entry. 6 points

6th. No Prejudice (2014) - Looks like a joke entry but it is not. Nice song. nothing more. 7 points.

5th. Paper (2017) - This song is so charming. I was really pissed that it did not qulefied. but I guess this is the risk of being in the stronger semi. Svala was alone on the stage but it did not looked empty at all. 8 points.

4th. Ég Á Líf (2013)

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

And boy are my arms legs.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
