Bar/Bat Mitzvah
Making Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s Last Forever. Mazel Tov! A Bar and Bat Mitzvah marks a major turning point in the life of every Jewish girl and boy. Reach out for a free consultation on how we can best prepare to make this a most meaningful and memorable affair for your child.
Weston/Westport Hebrew School recognizes what an exciting time this is in your child’s life. We hope that our Bar/Bat Mitzvah program will give your child the tools he/ she needs to properly navigate life as a responsible Jewish adult. We look forward to working with your child during this momentous time of their lives!
Bar/Bat Mitzvah isn’t just the coming of age and maturation of a child into an adult. It is also a time when the soul begins to 'blossom', allowing the individual to find 'moral maturity' within him/herself. It's seen as a point of time when we can begin to find a crystallization/awareness of our values which we know to be correct - and have that awareness guide our conduct. In Jewish thought, 'celebrations of the spirit' also need to be ‘celebrations of the body’. So a Bar/Bat Mitzvah event needs to find tangible ways to express the spiritual milestone it celebrates. We believe that the most important event in the life of a young person, should be more than just rote memorization. Our emphasis in preparing B’nai Mitzvah, is to appreciate the spiritual meaning of this milestone and to provide each child with the knowledge and tools necessary to be an active Jewish adult no matter what life brings. We strive to instill an awareness that this milestone is only the beginning of Jewish life and we help the children attain a greater appreciation of a Jewish adult's responsibilities. |
Private one on one Bar and Bat Mitzvah tutoring is available. Please inquire about scheduling and dates. We are committed to working with you to create a unique and special Bar/ Bat Mitzvah that will fit the needs of your child and be a most meaningful and memorable experience.
