Core Bar/Bat Mitzvah Preparation

Our Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation focuses on:

Hebrew Proficiency:
Developing the skills necessary to read and understand Hebrew prayers and texts.

Torah and Haftarah Study:
Learning to chant the assigned Torah and Haftarah portions with proper trope.

Prayer Leadership:
Gaining confidence to lead parts of the Shabbat service.

D’var Torah Development:
Crafting a personal speech that reflects on the Torah portion and its relevance.

This preparation is conducted through individualized tutoring sessions, ensuring that each student receives the attention and support they need to succeed.

Journey to Mitzvot (J2M) Club

Complementing our core preparation, the Journey to Mitzvot (J2M) club is a coed, immersive program that deepens students’ connection to Jewish values and community. While participation in J2M is optional, it is highly encouraged as it enriches the Bar/Bat Mitzvah experience.

Key Features of J2M:

Weekly Gatherings:
Meeting every Tuesday throughout the school year, both on and off campus.

Engaging Activities:
Participating in programs that explore Jewish traditions, ethics, and social responsibility.

Community Involvement:
Opportunities to engage with Holocaust survivors, perform acts of kindness, and learn about Israel.

Value-Based Learning:
Emphasizing principles such as Shabbat observance, T’filin, Kashrut, respect for elders, environmental stewardship, and acts of loving kindness.

J2M is designed to be inclusive and coeducational, recognizing that each participant brings a unique perspective to their Jewish experience. The program fosters a supportive environment where families can explore the richness of Jewish life together.

By offering both structured preparation and the enriching experiences of J2M, Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus ensures that each Bar/Bat Mitzvah is not only a personal achievement but also a deeply rooted connection to Jewish heritage and community.
