Innovations!

Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class

Several members have expressed interest in a weekly class for adults who have not become Bar or Bat Mitzvah, working toward a group B'nai Mitzvah ceremony sometime in the late spring.

We'd be concentrating on learning specifically what we need to prepare for the ceremony, including but not limited to Hebrew and the prayers and ritual appropriate to the occasion.   And, in true Beth Or tradition, we'll have a party!

A date and time for class meetings has not yet been set; currently we would like responses from anyone interested in participating.  The class will be open to active Temple members.

Please email the Temple at bethortemple@aol.com or phone the office with your name and contact information at 305-235-1419.

The Bazaar committee has out the contract for the November 18th event to numerous prospective vendors.

The initiative was inspired by a critically-acclaimed ballet by the same name which will be performed by Ballet Austin at the Arsht Center on November 3 and 4 as the culmination of the project.
