Can anyone tell me how long a Bat Mitzvah in a Conservative Shul...

[Debbi801]

would last? We belong to a Reform congregation and I know how long ours take. :)

But, my daughter is invited to one this week end and the Shul is about 30 minutes from home. So, I don't want to leave her stranded there too long, but don't want to sit in the parking lot for an hour or so, either. I've tried calling the Shul, but all I get is an answering machine that must be full because I can't leave a message.

Thanks!

1. Saturday services are pretty long

I would say from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm - more or less. At least, this is how it was for us last year when we attended a Bar Mitzvah at a Conservative Synagogue.
