B’NAI MITZVAH
B’nai Mitzvah Program
B’nai Mitzvah
In Jewish tradition, a young person begins to take on the rights and responsibilities of an adult in the religious community at thirteen. “B’nai mitzvah”- children of the commandments generally takes place during a student’s 7th or 8th grade school year, about halfway through the arc of their Jewish education.
The B’nai Mitzvah program goes beyond the customary skills of Torah/Haftorah reading and prayer chanting. Through family education programs, Shabbat experiences, and mitzvah projects, our program offers your family a chance to feel the rhythm and depth of Jewish life.
