B'nai Mitzvah Discovery Class

B'nai Mitzvah curriculum explores what it means to be an adult and a leader in the Jewish community.

There is a dual focus in this grade: tikkun olam, making the world a better place, and k’hilah k'doshah, creating a holy community.

Learning will include service projects; the Holocaust; exploring the meaning of the becoming b’nai mitzvah; and Jewish leadership.

This class is also a unique chance for children who went to Jewish day school and those who have gone to JCAL to build a single, cohesive community.
