B'nai Mitzvah Training

At Beth Israel Congregation, becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is much more than an event."  We at Beth Israel want it to be...

A positive Jewish experience for your entire family.

A successful experience. An introduction to Torah that will impact your life as a Jew and as a teenager on the bridge between childhood and adulthood.

A chance for you to explore the meaning of mitzvah in ritual and deed and take on new mitzvot as you enter your teen years.

To sum it all up, I hope your bar/bat mitzvah experience at Beth Israel will be a window into the sacred; a training not only in how to make a Jewish blessing, but how to be a Jewish blessing. For the student, it is a chance to mature spiritually. Being called to the Torah publicly is a privilege and an opportunity to establish a closer connection to God, Torah, and the Jewish people. For the family, bar/bat mitzvah is the epitome of a shehecheyanu moment, a growing experience for parent and child alike.
