Individualized
curriculum, one-on-one mentoring sessions, the creative expression of
ideas, culminating in a celebration service; this program offers an
innovative and exciting opportunity for a 'non-traditional' Bar/Bat
Mitzvah that is perfect for interfaith, secular, and unaffiliated
families. With guidance, the student explores how they connect to Jewish tradition, thought, culture
and beliefs. They will have opportunities to interact with their
families and members of their community as they study, create, reflect
and use their intellect and imagination. The culmination is the Bat/Bar
Mitzvah ceremony, a unique one-of-a-kind ceremony that has been
developed by the student, family, and myself to reflect the special
journey and experience. An ideal way to celebrate this age-old custom.

For
generations, the
Jewish tradition celebrating the transition of childhood to teen years and
approaching adulthood has centered around the process of becoming a
Bar/Bat Mitzvah. This process can be a wonderful, meaningful exploration
of an individual's values and thinking, and of their changing role in
the family and community. In my customized program, the student
experiences something very different from the rote, routine memorization
of language and prayers. They learn about themselves and their own connection to Jewish tradition, history and culture.
