Adult B'nei Mitzvah Class 5784

Becoming B'nei Mitzvah is an ancient rite of passage that celebrates a person's relationship to Jewish text, tradition, and practice. We are very excited to offer our second ever Adult B'nei Mitzvah class in 5784. The class will meet on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8pm from January 9 through April 16, 2024. The two B'nei Mitzvah services will be held on May 11 and May 18, 2024. The class will be taught in units by Rabbi Michelle, Rabbi Ari Lev and Rabbi Mó. The curriculum will cover how to chant Torah, how to write a Dvar Torah, and the liturgy and choreography of the Torah service. Students will be invited to chant an aliyah, lead prayers, and write a Dvar Torah or Dvar Tefilah for their B'nei Mitzvah. This will be a collective and collaborative experience that will lead up to a ceremony during which everyone will have the opportunity to leyn and take on Torah service leading and/or honors, in addition to sharing their Torah.

To be eligible to join the Adult B'nei Mitzvah cohort, students must be:
• Jewish
• A Kol Tzedek member
• Able to decode Hebrew (read words written in Hebrew letters with vowels)

The 5784 cohort details:
• Up to 15 students

• There will be two B'nei Mitzvah dates: May 11 and May 18, 2024

Location: KT's new space, WADE Flats, at 5300 Whitby Ave. This space is fully ADA-compliant. Further accessibility details coming soon.
