Join or Learn about Chai Mitzvah

Chai Mitzvah is a unique experiential Jewish journey that blends monthly group study with personal choices of Jewish engagement, called the "Jewish Bucket List". Our tradition teaches that the world stands on three things: study, spirituality, and acts of kindness. Chai Mitzvah provides a structure to explore each on these things both individually and as a community.

Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class
Sunday, Mar 30th 1:00p to 2:00p
This is a course for Jewish people over 18 who wish to have a B' Mitzvah service and celebration. Whether you converted to Judaism, weren't raised in a shul, were raised in a shul that didn't allow your gender to have such a service, or even if you had one at 13 and are ready for a do-over, you are welcome in this class. You will learn or relearn some staples of Jewish liturgy, Torah, hone D'var Torah writing and service-leading skills, and generally have a space to ask whatever questions about Judaism you have felt haven't been answered adequately for you up to this point (I can't promise to have a more adequate answer, but let's talk about it!). We will collectively discuss dates and services for class members to lead and celebrate their becoming a Bar/Bat/MiBeit Mitzvah. Classes will meet in person. If you are interested and cannot attend a class, please let Rabbi Lizz know.
