Bโnai/Bโnot Mitzvah Program โ A modern approach to an ancient tradition. In our sessions together, the students will participate in thought-provoking discussions about topics relating to teens. The students will develop and connect to their Jewish identity, be encouraged to give back to their communities through social involvement and to be inspired to continue exploring Jewish values in their daily lives. They will engage in community building and will examine ancient texts while finding their relevance to our lives.
Together, we will create a personal and individual entry point for each student. Our topics will include the life cycle, masoret (tradition), manhigut (leadership), and kehilah (community).
