B’Yachad: B’nei Mitzvah Program (Ages: 11 or 12-13)

In preparation for their simchat mitzvah ceremonies, these classes provide meaning and reflection during this formative time of life, grounding youth in authentic Jewish learning and practice. Classes integrate text-based learning, Hebrew literacy, and liturgy, Jewish history, thought, and culture through a variety of activities.

In addition to traditional studies, the program includes opportunities for hands-on projects and community service fostering a sense of social responsibility and connection to the broader community.

This is a 2-year program for Or Shalom members. B’Yachad students are divided into two cohorts, “Alef” and “Bet”, depending on their year of study.

Please note, a rate of 75% attendance of all aspects of the course is required, in addition to attendance at a minimum of six (6) Bayit based Shabbat morning services per year.
