I think you should wear a suit....
a LAWSUIT.
(unless you're, like, a butler.)
That being said...his son's baTmiztvah? you SURE??

Your boss' son would be a Bar Mitzvah. If he's referring to the synagogue services that will be led by the new Bar Mitzvah, dress. If he's only talking about the after-party, it could go either way. Why don't you ask him? I'm sure he'd much rather you ask than risk your showing up innapropriately attired.

Dress, if it's at a reception hall.
Business Casual if it's at someone's house.
Just go, say congrats, have a drink, tell a joke or three, and then politely excuse yourself because you have to pick up a family member from the airport.
I think if you stay an hour, it would reflect well on you.

bat mitz·vah or bat miz·vah (or bas mitz·vah or bas miz·vah (bäs) n. 1. In Conservative and Reform Judaism, a Jewish girl of 12 to 14 years of age, considered an adult and responsible for her moral and religious duties. 2. The ceremony that initiates and recognizes a girl as having achieved this status.
Soooo, maybe you should go in drag?

Um, which question are you really asking?
Your boss can't fire you for not attending a non-work-related religious event.
If you do go I think it's more dressy, but that's beside the point.

unlikely.
But- you might enjoy it.
It depends on the temple. If you're going to the service, a sportcoat and tie usually is fine. If you're also invited to a formal party- then perhaps a suit.
That's awfully nice of your boss to invite you.

LOL I wouldn't go (to any personal gathering w/the boss). I think you can wear anything these days though.

Um... he can't fire you for not attending. Unless he wants you to become his boss. I like the lawsuit idea. Stay home, unless you really want to go.

Batmiztvahs are for girls. You should wear dress clothes.
