5th Grade bMitzvah Retreat 2/11 9:00-4:30

TBT is so excited to be piloting b. mitzvah, a new workshop for families who are just on the cusp of b'nai mitzvah decisions and preparations.

The goal of b. mitzvah is to support your family in figuring out what is most important to you before you jump into planning. This workshop will help you lean into your own strengths and priorities and tune out all the other "noise" that can come with big lifecycle celebrations.

Please reach out to Judy to let her know if you plan to attend!
