Congregation Bnai Shalom offers a unique B-Mitzvah experience for today's families. Our Boutique B-Mitzvah program is designed to meet each child's individual needs. One-on-one weekly lessons are personalized for each child. The fourth week of the month, students have a cohort meeting with the Rabbi. Each month, Bnai Shalom has opportunities for students and their families to participate in Shabbat and holiday services and events.
The 2-year religious education curriculum runs from September through June each year and covers Torah study, Jewish holidays, history (including Israel), values, ethics, life cycles, liturgy, and tikkun olam (repairing the world). Students learn Hebrew decoding and prayers at their own pace, with instruction geared toward their ability and level. The second year of the program includes the specific preparation needed for each student to have a successful, meaningful B-Mitzvah.
Our goals are to have our children connect to their Jewish heritage and traditions and to feel positive about their Jewish identity. By learning together with each other, their teacher, their families and Rabbi Adrienne, our students will develop the skills and knowledge that will enable them to participate in Jewish life at home, in the synagogue and in their future.
There is no additional cost for this program for Congregation Bnai Shalom members.
