B’Mitzvah
Our b’mitzvah program focuses on nurturing the whole Jewish child. In addition to learning to lead the service and read Torah, students participate in service projects, field trips, a life-cycle seminar, and discussions around each week’s parsha. For information about our program, contact our Youth and Education Director, Chava Gal-Or.
