BAR/BAT MITZVAH PROGRAM

It is JEWEL'S hope to not make the Bar/Bat  Mitzvah a graduation ceremony.  To accomplish this one has to realize that exploring one's Judaism has many stages.   We hope that the time spent in school will provide not just the knowledge but also the emotional attachment for a life long relationship to Judaism.  Bar/Bat Mitzvah training begins about 6-8 months before the date of the ceremony.  It includes 1 extra hour of tutoring outside of school time.  We try to be as flexible and accomodating as possible to the students schedule.  Some find it easier to do the tutoring on Sunday after school from 12:00 pm until 1:00 pm.  Others prefer to do it during the week.  We have a number of different ceremonies that families can choose from depending on the skills and motivation of the child.  Besides preparing for the service, time will be spent learning with a Rabbi discussing the beauty and relevance of Judaism. 

For more information on how to make a meaningful bar/bat mitzvah for your child, please contact Rabbi Fink at rabbifink@betterfamily.org
