New Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class Begin at TBC October 2!
If you never experienced becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah as a 13 year old, it's not too late to experience this spiritually significant Jewish rite of passage as an adult.
Join a group of dedicated learners and become a member of the TBC Adult B'nai Mitzvah Class of 2019. Together, you and your classmates will embark on an educational journey that will broaden your knowledge of Torah, liturgy, customs and rituals and allow you to share and explore your ever evolving Jewish identity. In an easy to follow program, you will develop your Hebrew skills so that you will begin to be able to read Hebrew prayers during services and, as the culmination of the course, you will be called to read from the Torah in celebration of your becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
Rabbi Rachel Bearman and Karin Beitel, Director of Lifelong Learning, will be your instructors. There will be a Hebrew lesson every week and a combination of Hebrew and Jewish studies every other week. To join the class email:
kbeitel@templebnaichaim.org
Classes begin Tuesday, October 2 at 7:00 p.m.
Adult B'nai Mitzvah Service - Friday, June 14, 2019
Enrollment fee: $35

COMMON THREADS
While our Upper Fairfield County
 Federation is a community of communities, we are also a vast library of stories and a vibrant garden with interconnected roots. This year, with the coordination and leadership of our Federation, many of those communities - congregations, organizations, and others - have joined together to create Common Threads, a year-long project to explore our diverse ancestry and heritage and how it weaves together into our strong and integrated Upper Fairfield County community. More Information and schedule (
