Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah

For a variety of reasons, there are a number of Jewish adults in our community who choose to celebrate the B'nei Mitzvah rite of passage later in life, and we of course celebrate this choice.

Approximately every two years we hold a class for adults in our congregation to become B’nei mitzvah or to re-affirm their status as B’nei Mitzvah.

The class will include Basic Hebrew for which no prior knowledge of Hebrew is required, but we will move quickly so that at the end of the class you will be reading from the Torah!  Together we will explore some basic concepts of Judaism and try to address that which you were never taught or that which you do not remember from your own experiences in religious school. If this is something that you’ve been considering, go for it!  Rabbi Hillel once said, “if not now, when?”  Should you have any questions, feel free to email Rabbi Lenke at rabbilenke@tbsneedham.org.

Teachers: Rabbi Michele Lenke & Sheira Rosenfield
When: Every Thursday evening beginning November 3, 2011 with a special service of celebration on Saturday afternoon June 16, 2012
Time: 7:00-9:00 pm
