I can only speak from my own experience. My father is Jewish and my mother agreed to raise us in his faith (I don’t even know what religion she was before she met my dad). We all attended temple, and not long after my two older brothers were bat mitzvahed, my parents stopped making me go to Saturday school and Hebrew school. Soon, no one was going, so my sister and I never did get bat mitzvahed. It was very important to my father to have his sons bar mitzvahed, because this is what his father would have wanted, had he lived to see the boys turn 13. Basically, the message I got as a child was it wasn’t important enough for me to finish, maybe because I was female. So I lost interest in organized religion, and I haven’t ever found a religion that answered all my questions satisfactorily.
