Families! !משפחות
We welcome all families with younger children to join us as we bake challah, do art projects, make memories with children's Purim and Rosh Hashana events and welcome Shabbat together. In the past, our family havurah has worked on service projects and has supported scholarships to Jewish summer camps and other programs of interest. Rabbinical Intern Paige Lincenberg would love to hear from you. For more information contact Paige at lincenberg@gmail.com
Bar and Bat Mitzvah Study
In the year prior to becoming bar or bat mitzvah, students work with Rabbi Margaret Holub to study
Torah and become proficient in helping to lead a Shabbat service. In addition students work privately with a tutor to learn to read and chant their Torah portion in Hebrew. Ordinarily people in our community become Bar or Bat Mitzvah shortly after their thirteenth birthdays. But we have had people as old as 82 years old become Bar or Bat Mitzvah and students of all ages are welcome.
