Adult B'nai Mitzvah Course ⏺️
2025-03-12 19:00 - 20:00 | GA
Embark on a Transformative Jewish Journey
Are you seeking to connect more meaningfully to Judaism by being a link to the centuries-old tradition of reading the Torah? Join our transformative Adult Bnai Mitzvah course!
This one-year course will give you the opportunity to learn to read Hebrew and chant from the Torah, an experience that will connect you to the past generations (l'dor v'dor) of passing down the tradition of keeping the Torah alive through the weekly reading on Shabbat.
You will not only be connected to past generations but to Jews around the world, who read the same words in their communities in France, Russia, India, China, and everywhere Jews congregate in their communities, happening at the same time you are reading.
In the coming year, you will:

Learn the skills of reading Hebrew (while learning the meaning of keywords)
Learn how to chant the words from the Torah
Study the weekly text of the Torah (in English) to glean the rich stories that have shaped our tradition

No previous experience is required! Spaces are limited, so register today (link below).
