Looking
for an alternative to the traditional bar and bar mitzvah
program?
Interested
in an non-traditional, outdoor, adventure based program that
will infuse your child's bar or bat mitzvah experience with
meaning?
Our
ten month program is idea for students who:
-
Love outdoor activities
- Thrive
in experiential education settings
-
Enjoy small group learning sessions
-
Appreciate lots of time learning directly with a rabbi
-
Have no Jewish background, have years of Jewish background
or anywhere in between!
Introducing
the Adventure Bar and Bat Mitzvah Class!
How
does it work?
For ten months preceding your bar or bat mitzvah, you will
meet once a month with Rabbi Steve Booth-Nadav. Five of those
meetings will be private sessions either in phone or in person,
with just you and Rabbi Steve.
The other five meetings will be outdoor adventures, shared
with the other members of the Bar and Bat Mitzvah Adventure
Class. Rabbi Jamie Korngold will join the group for some of
the group adventures. Our plan is to embark
on one Friday evening program (parents and siblings are invited
to jon for this one outing), three half-day adventures, and
finally one full-day outing.
You
will hike, climb mountains, snowshoe, even do some trail work
to give back to the community, all while learning about each
other, Judaism and yourself.
What
about Hebrew?
You will study Hebrew one on one with a tutor. Most
students require about a year of weekly lessons prior to their
bar or bat mitzvah, but this varies greatly depending on your
prior knowledge of Hebrew. We can suggest tutors with whom
you can work or you may also chose to work with Rabbi Steve.
