Our Bnei Mitzvah Program: Still Accepting Registrants!
Our next
b'nei mitzvah program will begin in the autumn of 2017, when we will welcome a small cohort of candidates.
This is a year-long series of classes, excursions and socializing that usually precedes the young person becoming a bar or bat mitzvah with Shir Libeynu. You can expect: a
learning enrichment program
that will include a series of workshops and sessions with the youngsters, as well as their families; social opportunities for families at
oneg
Shabbat
, a tour of Jewish Toronto and other excursions; a
Tzedekah
project, and more.
Families who wish their children to
become a bar or bat mitzvah
with Shir Libeynu must enroll them in this program well in advance of the ceremony. Families usually proceed to the simcha part of the bar/bat mitzvah process after this program, but it is not a requirement. For more detailed information on what you can expect from our entire program, including the paramaters and details of the ceremony led by Rabbi Goldberg at Shir Libeynu,
