A spiritual journey for the entire family enabling the Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparatory experience to be an opportunity to grow
individually and together.


Developed and staffed by folks from
Jewish Milestones and Storahtelling
& held at Isabella Freedman
Jewish Retreat Center, Falls Village, CT


We invite families of children becoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah between November 2008 and October 2009 to spend a week together before the school year begins to explore this significant rite of passage through creative arts, experiences in nature, Torah study and peer group discussions.

Jewish Milestones is delighted to co-present the film

Sixty-Six

as part of the 28th Annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

A charming comedy set in 1966, starring Helena Bonham Carter and Stephen Rea. The plot centers on Bernie Reuben, a nerdy North London boy, who is planning a spectacular bar mitzvah party to shore up his popularity but whose plans may be ruined when a World Cup soccer match is scheduled for the same day.
