How much do wealthy Jews spend on their kid's wedding?
According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, it is not unusual for wealthy Jews to spend up to $40,000 on their child's wedding. This practice reflects extravagant spending on wedding receptions, which is common both abroad and in America.
Les reads from the Jerusalem Post that it is not at all unusual for wealthy Jews to spend up to $40,000 for their kid's wedding. He calls this unreal and notes the same extravagant spending occurs in America. He illustrates this by mentioning that the place where they held a seminar last Saturday was only available the Saturday before Easter because all other weekends were taken up with wedding receptions. People will spend any amount of money just for that, though Les says he does not put much stock in it. Nevertheless, he sees this as the makeup of society today.
