B*Mitzvah Program (Grades 6 and 7)

Students in the B*Mitzvah class meet for Limmud b’Shabbat to study a core curriculum with a focus on the Shabbat morning t’fillah service and the weekly Torah parsha. In addition, students will celebrate the Jewish holidays and take part in school wide activities and programs.

As the students approach their B*Mitzvah dates, they will be meeting monthly as a cohort and weekly in private sessions to prepare for their ceremonies.  The B* Mitzvah program includes:
