B'Nai Mitzvah PDF Print

life-bnaiBar/Bat Mitzvah Training

All children meeting Hebrew School requirements and whose families are members in good standing are welcome and encouraged to study for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Dates are arranged through the Ritual Committee in consultation with the Rabbi and Education Director.

Dov Goldberg, our Director of Congregational Learning, conducts the B'nai Mitzvah tutoring while Rabbi Braun works with students to develop their divrei Torah.  In addition, Rabbi Braun and Mr. Goldberg co-teach a series of classes for B'nai Mitzvah students and their parents.

The Temple encourages the use of its facilities for all Simchas and charges only for tablecloth rental, kitchen use, custodial time, and breakage. Contact the office for a detailed packet of information.
