Adult B'nai Mitzvah Program

Our most ambitious offering will start this fall. Once the High Holy Days season is completed and our sukkot are disassembled, our new Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class will begin. The class will meet biweekly for two years on Sunday mornings, with a big break in the summer. While Rabbi Fryer Bodzin will be the lead teacher and curriculum designer, Rabbi Wernick, Rabbi Lara and Yacov will also teach the cohort.

This class is for adults in our community who did not have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah at age 12 or 13. It will be a marvelous opportunity for people who converted to Judaism, as well as men and women who were not offered the opportunity when they were younger.

Topics in the first year will include Jewish time, kosher dietary laws, prayer, family obligations, Shabbat and Jewish pride. After two years, at the conclusion of the course, we anticipate that participants will deliver a d'var Torah, read a short Torah reading and come up to the Torah for an aliyah.

The Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class will elevate the Beth Tzedec values of LEARN and CONNECT.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Rabbi Fryer Bodzin at rabbirfb@beth-tzedec.org.
