In bat mitsva I don't recall seeing it.

In bar mitsva, thinking hard... maybe it has been discouraged some places because people would just bring whatever candy and it caused kashrus issues? or now that I think of it, because people would carry the candy on shabbes??


I think the bigger concern is hitting someone upside their head (as the saying goes) with hard candies. A friend's shul only allows soft candies.

At my shul, some of the minyans do it, and some don't. At DS' bar mitzvah, we had boxes of lollipops to please give your whining child to keep him/her quiet while DS is leyning, but we didn't throw anything.

I never heard of it not being done! We throw candies or whole pekalach /sakiyot /bags. It's nice to save some for the girls over on our side.


Same here. Unheard of not to throw for both bar mitzvas and shabbatot chatan.
If one of the parents and/or the couple is sefardi/edot hamizrach we will often also say a piyut.
