Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class Instructors: Rabbi David Castiglione & Cantor Lori Wilinski Frank Some members who did not have the opportunity to celebrate their passage into Jewish adulthood at age 13 want to experience the joy of celebrating it later in life. Our Adult Education program sponsors a special class for men and women wishing to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony. New Class Begins Monday, January 11, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. This ongoing class requires a one year commitment and meets twice monthly, on Mondays, concluding with a Shabbat morning service led by the class, in December 2010. There will be a semester break in August and September. The adult B'nai Mitzvah program consists of course work in Jewish history, liturgy, philosophy/theology, ritual, rabbinic literature, including personal exploration and the writing of a D'var Torah. In addition, candidates will learn the Shabbat morning liturgy, Torah and Haftorah as well as the Hebrew necessary for each. Students will also have the option of learning cantillation. Prior knowledge of Hebrew is preferred, but not mandatory and students may be encouraged to engage a personal Hebrew tutor to assist them with reading proficiency. |
