My son's birthday is coming up and his best friend is Jewish. Would it be appropriate to invite him to my son's birthday party? I can call it a play date and not sing happy birthday (he doesn't want a cake anyway).

Hello debbie:

We're not that strange. We sing and like cake too.

It's the Jehovah's Witnesses that don't celebrate birthdays.

The Lubavicher Rebbe, leader of the Lubavicher Chassidic movement, strongly encouraged his followers to party their birthdays. Not with drunken parties, but in a way that stresses "holy" activities.
