But u shouldn't be afraid of talking to him. I think that you should talk to your dad about the situation. If you don't get to hang out with your dad alot then i would go the the halloween thing, but it the bar mizvah is more important than you should go to that. It might feel unconfortable for you to go to your brother's frinend's bar mitzvah with out him if you don't know the kid well. If you really want to see your old friends maybe you could have a halloween party and invite them all! i hope this helped you a little! remember, don't be afraid to talk to your dad!!

He rescheduled it already and it would be asking for a lot for him to rescheduel it yet again to fit your schedule. Doesn't Bar Mitzvah occur only once in a life for that person (sorry, I'm not very familiar with this)?
Tell your dad if he won't mind you going to this kid's bar mitzvah for it only happens once in his life and you wish to be there and observe it. And promise that you'll be at the horror night thing next year [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
