Bar/Bat Mitzvah Services
Teaching a young adult the importance of bar/batmitzvah cannot be overstated. By engaging a student with dignity, respect and imparting a level of fun into the lessons, allows the time spent to fly by and by the end , the bar mitzvah candidate feels an enormous sense of personal accomplishment.
With this achievement, he/she now has a base to be able to go forward and enjoy a Judaic experience with knowledge and a feeling of community involvement. These special moments will remain with the student for the rest of their adult life and the goal as teacher is always to leave the student with a feeling of pride and a greater sense of closeness to their traditional roots.
Depending on how much of the service the bar/bat mitzvah candidate is willing to undertake, contact should be established with the family between 18 months and a year before the simcha takes place.
