In the 6th and 7th grade class, we prepare our students for their rite of passage into Jewish adulthood. Bar/Bat Mitzvah is an opportunity to show the community that they are prepared to be more responsible for their actions. We consider our students in the 6th and 7th grade class "Jewish adults in training." In this class they learn what it means to be an adult in the Jewish community: active participation and contribution; helping others in need; and Torah study. We stress individual responsibility, being contributing members of the community, and becoming active learners. We also emphasize community: doing class mitzvah projects and helping out at each other's Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.
See our section on Bar/Bat Mitzvah studies for more information.
