Different eras of Covid were different situations. A Labor Day bar mitzvah was very very different timing than an erev Pesach bar mitzvah. What you describe is vastly different than what we had (my post above). In addition to the fear and anxiety , and r”l sickness and death , that was part of erev Pesach time 2020.

I guess I wasn’t clear. The actual bar mitzvah was supposed to have taken place right after Pesach. Instead, he leined on zoom and we had a family seuda and dancing with neighbors/friends. The party was later, on Labor Day.

That wasn’t the point of my OP. Wasn’t comparing at all. Not sure why you came to that conclusion.

I understand you because I had the same thing, a bris in the fall of 2020. It was already past the scary days but we still weren’t having big parties (OOT). So we had a bris just with immediate family and it was so much better than having a big event one week after giving birth!
