Children, Youth and Families

B’nai Mitzvah Program

Grades 5-7
Tuesdays 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Classes begin October

The B’nai Mitzvah program is committed to making your child’s journey toward Jewish adulthood an exciting and memorable experience. Each student receives personalized instruction and attention as they learn to lead Shabbat Prayers, develop their Hebrew reading/comprehension skills, explore the observance of mitzvot and discover what it means to become a Jewish adult in the 21^st century. Meaningful connections with teachers and peers will help instill in them a sense of ownership and pride in the Jewish tradition they are inheriting.

This year we are pleased to welcome Jonah Potasznik, our new Director of Youth Engagement, who will be teaching our 7th graders. Moshe Oren as well as Cantor Russ will continue to teach 5th and 6th grade, respectively.

Grades will be physically separated in the building and masks will be required at all times during the program.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Beth Tzedec as your family continues its journey on the road to one of the great milestones in Jewish life.
