Adult B'nei Mitzvah Program
Can't remember a samech from a shin? Not sure what Talmud or Midrash is or if Purim came before Chanukah? Never called to the Torah for an Aliyah? Do we have a class for you - Adult B'nei Mitzvah!
Adult B’nei Mitzvah class is be taught by our rabbi, with a focus on a combination of Judaic learning and Hebrew language acquisition. The class runs for two years with a shared b'nei mitzvah ceremony taking place at the end.
This class is designed for all those who see themselves on a Jewish journey and who seek knowledge and understanding, not just for those who never became Bar/Bat Mitzvah at age 13.
In the words of Laurie Frolich, a former participant and past CSR President:
"I know many participants considering joining a program such as Adult B'nei Mitzvah hesitate to take on a commitment of weekly classes over a period of two years. I too shared that concern...as a working mother and someone who commutes daily into Manhattan, the commitment was very real, and certainly each of us missed a class or two due to the demands of family, children, travel schedules or the realities of multi-tasking life styles. But truth be told, it became increasingly easier over time to attend. The class became a high point of a busy week. How well did the class fulfill our expectations? I know it met and exceeded mine. I have come away with a sound working knowledge of Hebrew and the skills to continue my studies for a lifetime...with our new found knowledge has come greater confidence and involvement. How does a group of individuals become a community of learners? Join this class and see for yourself!"
May this year be your year to grow in Jewish knowledge.
