In 6th grade, you and your child will participate in J2M6, a 5-week program which meets on Sundays and is designed to deepen your understanding of the key aspects of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah service. Together, we explore the various parts of the service, with a particular focus on the Torah service.
One highlight is our Mitzvah Fair, where families meet representatives from several organizations to learn about volunteer opportunities, helping your child select a meaningful Mitzvah project. We also delve into your child’s Torah portion, encouraging thought-provoking questions about their Parasha. Additionally, we explore the meaning and significance of wearing a Tallit and Tefillin.
The program spans five Sunday sessions (typically three in the fall and two in the winter) and one Friday night Shabbat celebration. Sunday sessions begin at 9:15AM. with breakfast, followed by the program from 9:45AM to 11:30AM. Our Friday night program starts with a 6PM. service, followed by dinner at 7PM.
