Justin Bieber filmed shouting at bar mitzvah guests in LA hotel lobby

Bieber is not Jewish  – in fact, his mother was initially reluctant to sign the singer up to his current record label, because of manager Scooter Braun’s Jewish faith. According to a 2010 New York Times piece, she recalls praying at the time: “God, you don’t want this Jewish kid to be Justin’s man, do you?”

It appears God did, as Bieber went on to have great success with Scooter Braun’s record label, even picking up a few Jewish traditions from his agent. Before Bieber goes on stage, he says the Shema, Scooter Braun said. “Justin heard me pray, he gets why I do it, and now he does the same”.

In 2011, after playing a concert in Tel Aviv, the singer returned home with a tattoo of the Hebrew word Yeshua, meaning Jesus.

Bieber was sued in 2015  after his neighbour accused the singer’s bodyguard of shouting antisemitic abuse at him.

So perhaps the bar mitzvah attendees were right to approach him in the lobby, instead of inviting the singer in for the seudat mitzvah.
