B'nai Mitzvah Orientation for 4th-6th Grade Parents
|
Hi all--Our annual B'nai Mitzvah Orientation is fast approaching. This is a meeting whereby you receive the BM handbook and are able to begin requesting dates for your child's ceremony.
Rabbi and Cantor will be holding this orientation this Sunday morning Dec 8, from 10am-11am in the Sanctuary, right after t'fillah (which takes place at 9:30am). If you have yet to attend the orientation (some of the 5th/6th grade parents might have missed last year's meeting), this is the time to get a sense of what the BM process is.
We know this is last minute - we apologize for the short notice. Please let us know if you can make it that morning for this important meeting (email both my admin assistant, Deanne-
school@templesanjose.org
, and the clergy admin assistant, Iris Bendahan -
iris@templesanjose.org
). We want to make sure we hand out all the information to everyone.
If you are unable to make this meeting, let Iris or Deanne know and a meeting can be scheduled to run through the material and hand out the binder.

We look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Fair!
