THE ADULT BAR/BAT MITZVAH
This is the perfect opportunity to connect/re-connect with your Judaism and your own personal life journey through the transformative experience of the B’nei Mitzvah preparation. This is a journey of the heart, the mind and the body where you will…
Participate in a 9 month spiritual journey in which you will:
• Learn the ancient art of chanting Torah
• Explore the deep structure of Jewish prayer
• Learn to lead parts of the Shabbat service
• Delve into the wisdom of Torah through dynamic text study
We will meet bi-weekly as a group and the class will culminate in a group B’nei Mitzvah celebration where you will chant and lead part of the service.
SKILL LEVEL: ability to read Hebrew at a strong beginners level. (Can read words but not necessarily understand). For people who do not read hebrew, we will start a separate group to learn those skills first and then continue into the B'nei Mitzvah journey.
INFORMATIONAL MEETING: TBA.
To RSVP and for more info, contact: melisjoel@mac.com or call: 617.868.5296
TEACHERS: Teachers: Rabbi Melissa Wenig and Cantorial Soloist Shayndel Kahn. Melissa and Shayndel have guided 3 groups of adults through their B’nai Mitzvah journeys over the last 5 years. This is their work of the heart.
