Anshei Mitzvah
Adult B'nei Mitzvah
Anshei Mitzvah is an opportunity for those adults who have never had a Bar or Bat Mitzvah to participate in group study that will culminate in being called to the Torah. Classes will be taught by the clergy, Susan Jacobs, and master teacher, Barbara Feld.
The Anshei Mitzvah program will begin with learning to read Hebrew and continue with Torah and liturgy study that culminates with individual Torah assignments. Upon completion of the curriculum, participants will be called to Torah to celebrate with the congregation. If you are interested in beginning this meaningful journey, please contact Susan Jacobs Here. For more information on the Hebrew Classes and the Anshei Mitzvah dates, Click Here.
