Year after year our graduates are
called to the bimah to celebrate culmination of their Jewish
learning. This year B'nei Mitzvah students
will study the Hebrew alphabet to prepare for the Hebrew reading
skills that they will need to chant Torah and have an Aliyah the
day of their Bar Mitzvah ceremony. After they have a strong
beginning, we will introduce the prayers of the service to the
students.
Class meetings with parents to
discuss the Bar Mitzvah ceremony significance and main points
will take place a few time during the year, so that the whole
family can be involved in the preparation for the ceremony. This
family simcha cements the generations and is truly a time for
"passing the torch" of our traditions.
This year our proud Bar and Bat Mitzvah
students and their friends and family members will be invited
on Sunday, June 17 to participate in the mitzvah of Coming to
Age ceremonies. Every year the faces of those in the audience
ere lighten up as young Jewish adults read from the Torah and
speak about reclaiming their Jewish heritage.
