Michael Douglas, who infamously partied a little too hearty at his son Dylan’s bar mitzvah party last month, suffering a hora-related injury (“I got carried away at my son’s bar mitzvah this weekend. You know they put you up in the chairs over the top — I think something happened there,” he told Page Six), isn’t done with the celebrations just yet.

Douglas, wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, and their children were in Israel this weekend for the second leg of Dylan’s bar mitzvah, YNet reports. The family reportedly stayed in the King David Hotel’s $5,400-a-night presidential suite in Jerusalem and toured the tunnels below the Western Wall.

While the invitation to Dylan’s rockin’ New York City party reportedly featured the 13-year-old photoshopped onto a Rolling Stone cover, the family’s trip to Israel appears to have been more subdued, with the famous clan largely avoiding paparazzi attention in the Holy Land.

I guess our invitation to this one got lost in the mail too, Dylan?
