Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah

Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah is a two-year program, designed for those who did not have a bar/bat mitzvah as a child or who want a more meaningful experience the second time around.

The first year includes an intensive study of Hebrew language and an exploration of many important themes in Jewish history, culture, holidays, literature, and practice. In the second year we continue the focus on Hebrew and learn to chant from the Torah and Haftarah as well as to lead services in preparation for the culminating event, the Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah, held on a Shabbat morning with the entire congregation invited.

Classes are every Thursday night (approximately post-High Holidays until June) from 7-9 PM. Groups are formed every other year – the next class will begin in the Fall of 2008.
