We’re not a suburban bar mitzvah mill, but we have several bar and bat mitzvahs each year. We try to work with the families to make each experience special and as stree-free as possible.
We also are hosting adult bar and bat mitzvahs for people who never had bnei mitvot when they were young.
Compared to large suburban shuls with highly routinized processes, our bnei mitzvot families have a wide range of choices that we are able to facilitate, including the tutor and the presiding rabbi.
Our social hall is available for small and large kiddushes after services, as well as full lunches, dinners and other special celebrations (Holding An Event at the Shul).
Usually, the bnei mitzvot are conducted during our Saturday morning services. If you have a preferred rabbi to conduct services, you may choose to hold bnei mitzvot on Saturday afternoons, Monday mornings or Thursday mornings, when Torah is read.
For a more detailed set of bnei mitvot procedures and requirements, please email us as soon as possible. It generally takes at least 6 months of tutoring to prepare a bar or bat mitzvah prior to the service (more depending on the level of Hebrew background), so you definitely should not leave things to the last minute!
