However, Bernie's family are increasingly distracted by the threat of losing their business & their wayward older son, & the scale of Bernie's Bar Mitzvah diminishes daily. Worst of all the World Cup Final is scheduled to take place on the same day & when England makes it through to the final, Bernie's longed-for Bar Mitzvah looks set to be a complete disaster.
