In becoming B’nai Mitzvah, our students accept the honor and responsibility of being a Jewish lifelong learner. We are thrilled to support them as they engage in study of Torah, Shabbat, holy-day and life-cycle observances; participation in the life of the synagogue, the Jewish Community, Israel; and dedication to Tikun Olam, the perfection of our world.
