The most important life passage of Jewish childhood and adolescence is Bar Mitzvah for a boy and Bat Mitzvah for a girl. “Bar and Bat Mitzvah is about ritual maturity. It is about growing up as a Jew. It is about becoming a fuller member of the Jewish community. However, it is also about moral responsibility, about connecting to Torah, to community, to God.”
At Temple Emanuel, the actual celebration is preceded by years of learning and family involvement, by creative programming and the opportunity for our students and their families to interact and to get to know one another.
Please check out more about how we prepare a child for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah under the Worship tab - Bar/Bat Mitzvah on this website.
