B'nai Mitzvah
Our synagogue offers an outstanding B’nai Mitzvah program designed to guide our students through the process of becoming active and well-educated members of the Jewish community. The B'nai Mitzvah program is an extension of our Religious School, in which our students are taught to read and chant Torah, Haftarah and lead our congregation in worship during a memorable B’nai Mitzvah ceremony.
The B’nai Mitzvah experience at Shaaray Tefila also focuses on the student’s parents and other family members, whose participation we view as key to making the service a truly memorable occasion.
Each of our rabbis is involved in the preparation process, which begins with three family workshops and approximately one year of individual instruction by a superb tutoring staff supervised by Rabbi Jason Nevarez. B’nai Mitzvah preparation also includes individual meetings with one of the rabbis to prepare each student’s speech, and a family meeting to ensure that participation by family members reflects your needs and desires.
