Bar & Bat Mitzvah
Discovery Coursewith RabbiDeren

As boys and girls approach the age of Bar and Bat Mitzvah, preparations for their big day begin. Our course on basic Jewish traditions provides stimulating discussions and presentations on intriguing areas of Jewish life that the children do not typically study in Hebrew School. These sessions will provide the child with a broad range of valuable information that will prepare them for Jewish adulthood, ignite a love and pride in their Judaism and help them define who they are as Jews. Students  enjoy a combination of learning and fun through regular meetings, field trips, activities, projects and involvement in the Jewish Community.
