Adult B’nai Mitzvah Class

in

We are excited for a new Adult B’nai Mitzvah class! This is an opportunity for adult members of our congregation, with a group of peers, to engage with our millennia-old tradition and community ritual of affirming one’s place in the Jewish community.

There will be a Hebrew learning component as well as a content study with Cantor Caro, Rabbi Holzman, and Rabbi Barrett. The culmination of this journey is set for Shabbat morning, May 23, 2026.

The Adult B’nai Mitzvah Hebrew class will be divided into two sections from April through August, to address varying levels of Hebrew. Starting in September, we will all come together into one Hebrew class. The calendar includes the dates and times for both sections of the Adult B’nai Mitzvah Hebrew classes.

All classes will be in person.
