portion. Participants are encouraged to share
their views, questions, and opinions.
Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah: Prayer Reading,
Service Leading, Torah Chanting, and D'var
Torah Skills, Monday Evenings, 8 to 10 p.m.
We encourage our Jewish members who did not
become Bar/Bat Mitzvah as a child to celebrate
Bar or Bat Mitzvah as an adult. Most adult
Bar/Bat Mitzvah candidates will need to study in
a one-to-two year course to prepare for leading a
Shabbat service and reading from the Torah.
Students can celebrate adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah as
individuals or in small/large groups. For more
information, contact Rabbi Eitan at [email protected]
Every Sunday During Religious School
Torah Study/Modern Jewish Philosophy,
Instructor Fred Andes, 9:45 to 10:45 a.m.
