Shnat Mitzvah

Ages 12-13 mark the beginning of the transition from childhood to adulthood, a time of identity exploration, finding a sense of belonging, and navigating personal and social growth. In Judaism, turning 13 is a significant milestone that symbolizes the shift from childhood to responsibility.

The Bar/Bat Mitzvah program is designed for boys and girls to experience this special time together. It offers adolescents the chance to engage in formative experiences as a group, exploring topics that are relevant to this meaningful phase. The program also helps Bar/Bat Mitzvah children and their families enrich the year with additional content and meaning, adding an ethical dimension to the celebrations.

The program covers a variety of topics through hands-on group activities and diverse methods, including:

• Personal identity: Exploring circles of affiliation and the various identities we belong to.
• Understanding Israel: Gaining deeper knowledge about Israel’s history, leaders, and more.
• Connection to Jewish tradition: Growing from our roots and values while interpreting the past in contemporary ways.
• Holidays and values: Focusing on the personal and social values inherent in Jewish holidays.
• Jewish coming-of-age ceremony: Understanding the cultural and familial context of this significant rite of passage, for both boys and girls.
