B’nai Mitzvah Chavurah
An important part of the Bar/Bat at Mitzvah process is for each student and his or her family to develop a strong, positive sense of membership in the Jewish Community. Rabbi Baker and Cantor Sherwin will assist parents in managing the B’nai Mitzvah Chavurah, an informal group whose members support each other during the Bar/Bat Mitzvah process.
Parents rotate volunteer assignments to coordinate the Chavurah activities. Previous Chavurah activities have included visiting other congregations, attending a film or performance with a Jewish theme, or participating in a community event such as Israeli Independence Day, or a Tzedekah activity such as Hands-on-Housing or the Crop Walk.
