  • The Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Program
This series was designed for young single professionals who have either never had a Bar or Bat Mitzvah or for those looking to refresh (and "upgrade") their original experience. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the foundations of Judaism and meet other young professionals who also want to have their Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

The three areas we are looking to enhance are your knowledge, skills and experience of Judaism. To this end you will attend special classes on a variety of Jewish themes (an optional Hebrew reading skills class is available as well) all the while having a hands on experience of Jewish life !

Participants will meet for 8 consecutive weeks, Wednesday evenings at the DC JCC.
The schedule will be as follows :
7:00 - 7:45 : Optional Hebrew Reading Skills class
7:45 - 8:15 : Dinner
8:20 - 9:15 : Bar/Bat Mitzvah Program
