When Burt's parents arrive for another uneasy visit, his mother Christine claims to have discovered being a Jewess and having embraced the Hebrew faith, hence demands her son does so by having a belated Bar Mitzhva.

Rabbi Zwerin gives the idiot a crash course, but on the very day his parents admit having invented the whole thing to win back the gifts they gave to others as guests over the years at weddings and such events.
