I am Catholic and my fiance is Jewish. We are wondering... is it possible for a child to be baptisedand take first communion, as well as have a bris and a bar mitzvah? Or, for example, does baptising a child then preclude them from having a bar mitzvah when they're older? I'm not sure if the Conservative view is different than the Reformed view...I'd love to hear both if possible. Thanks, Charlene
