B'nai Mitzvah Family Cohort 2021/2022 Session

For parents and students.
B'nai Mitzvah is an important Jewish life-cycle event that often involves not only the child, but the whole family. We've created a monthly program where the entire family learns remotely together with Rabbi Rapport and Miya Rotstein, our B'nai Mitzvah Coordinator, in a monthly group session that includes text study, history, Jewish life, values, and what to look ahead to in the planning and learning for B'nai Mitzvah.
