Sister Wives star Kody Brown always maintained he had a deep respect for other cultures. He wanted his children to learn about other ways of life, so that often meant incorporating various elements of other cultures into his family’s own celebrations.

Some fans thought it was admirable, others thought he was completely misappropriating other cultures. This topic resurfaced after one viewer watched an only episode where Kody talked about Logan Brown’s bar mitzvah.

See what other Sister Wives fans had to say about the situation.

Kody Brown Proudly Threw His Son A Bar Mitsvah — Even Though They Aren’t Jewish

As Season 19 continues, Sister Wives fans have been rewatching older episodes and posting their findings on Reddit. One viewer stumbled across an old scene where Kody admitted he threw Logan a bar mitzvah for his 13th birthday.

But that’s not all. In the closed captioning on the photos, Kody also says he knighted his 13-year-old son for the occasion. In real bar mitzvahs, the 13-year-old boy reads from the Torah and gives a speech. The boy also spends quite a bit of time preparing for the ceremony. The Browns turned it into a goofy party to celebrate their son’s birthday.

“I need to know everything about Logan’s bar mitzvah…” a Redditor shared on the platform, attaching a photo from the occasion. “What I wouldn’t give to have seen this knighting ceremony…during a bar mitzvah…thrown by Kody. 🗡️🛡️”

Sister Wives Fans Balk At The TLC Star’s Tactless Decision

Since the bar mitsvah ceremony is a deeply significant coming-of-age ceremony in the Jewish faith, many viewers felt the Browns made a mockery of it. They especially weren’t impressed with Kody adding a random knighting ceremony into the mix.

Comments on the Reddit post included:

  • Kody treats religion like a Chinese restaurant menu. Something from the chicken portion, one from the pork section, one from the beef portion. Do we think he was ever really devoted to any faith? I really believe he only became a polygamist to get as many women as possible.”
  • And for those who are confused – this is what cultural appropriation looks like, lol.”
  • My guess is Logan knew it was inappropriate at the time, but just went along with it because his father is nuts.”
  • God I f**king hate when fundies appropriate Jewish religion and culture like this, it’s so offensive and gross.”
