Adult B’nai Mitzvah
- Did you miss the opportunity to become a bar or bat mitzvah at the age of 13?
- Have you always wanted to study with the clergy and become a more literate Jew?
- Would you like to learn to read and chant from the Torah?
- Are you willing to make a commitment of time to the exploration of your own Jewish identity with a small group of like-minded adults?
If you’ve answered “Yes!”, then our Adult B’nai Mitzvah Program may be for you. A new adult b’nai mitzvah cohort is beginning in the Fall of 2011, and we encourage you to be part of it!
Past Adult B’nai Mitzvah students have found that their participation in this program helped them to feel like “insiders.” They have come to feel more comfortable with the Friday evening and Saturday morning services. They have enjoyed the sense of a renewed Jewish soul. They have enjoyed the opportunity to study with our clergy, and have found a strong bond with a small group of adults in the community.
The course of study typically takes 2 ½ years, including one year of “Exploring Judaism,” two full years of Hebrew study, in-depth Judaic study with the Rabbis, and learning Torah cantillation (chanting) and prayers with the Cantor.
