Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class

This class is loosely designed for parents and kids in 4-6 grade, but is open to anyone, regardless of ages or grades.  Even if you attended the class last year, you are more than welcome to attend again.

This is an interactive class; part of the time parents and kids will be together and part of the time they will be split into their own groupings.  Parents are welcome to attend with or without their children.  The purpose of the class is to learn more about a bar-bat mitzvah process in general, and to learn more about a KB-style bar-bat mitzvah in particular.  We will look at ways of making a bar-bat mitzvah personal and relevant to the child and the family, and of making it something that is manageable/not too overwhelming.  In addition to looking at the beginning stages of bar-bat mitzvah planning, this class will help families decide if they feel that a bar-bat mitzvah is something they feel is right for them.

There is no charge for the class, but pre-registration is required; email Renee Lubowich. Lunch will be provided.  We will arrange childcare for younger children upon request.
