Mitzvah Program

Our 2-year Mitzvah Program, meets concurrently with the Sunday School and includes congregational involvement (participating in and leading Shabbat and holiday services); parental participation; and culminates in individual ceremonies.

Curriculum includes:

* Study of the Torah as literature
* Holidays and religious life
* Jewish history, identity, and philosophy
* Comparative study of the other forms of Judaism
* Ethics/Mitzvot/Social Responsibility as Human Beings
* Hebrew, referenced in all previous classes, especially within the study of the Torah as literature.
* Values and stories within the student's own family
* Personal beliefs and how they fit in: past, present, and future

Since Jewish continuity depends upon community involvement of our youth, we offer an educational program which blends reinforcement of the child's Jewish identity with service to the community.
