Rockdale’s 200th Year Adult B’nei Mitzvah Class
February 2023 – May 2024
Kick-off – Tuesday, February 7, 2023, 6-9pm
Rockdale Temple’s next Adult B’nei Mitzvah class will begin in early 2023 and culminate with a group B’nei Mitzvah celebration near Shavuot 5784, in the Spring of 2024, Rockdale’s 200th Anniversary Year! Adult members of Rockdale Temple are welcome to participate. Whether you did not have the opportunity as a child, chose Judaism as an adult, or have a child/grandchild approaching their own B’nei Mitzvah experience, this is a great time to complete this mitzvah!
Our class will engage in a Jewish learning journey in which we explore Jewish texts, liturgy, history, and practices, rededicating ourselves to our Judaism. Participants do not need to be proficient in Hebrew; we will have opportunities to learn Hebrew together, as well as master the leadership of Shabbat prayers and the chanting/reading of Torah!
The Adult B’nei Mitzvah class will be taught primarily by Rabbi Kahan and Rabbi Binder, with occasional guest teachers. The group will meet every other week for about 15 months, alternating between in-person and Zoom gatherings (schedule/modality shared on a quarterly basis). Our program will kick-off on Tuesday, February 7th and will meet February – June 2024 on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, 7:00-8:30PM.
Cost is $180, which includes all meetings and materials. Please contact Rabbi Kahan with questions, concerns, or requests for financial aid.
