TEMPLE BETH RISHON SCHEDULES ORIENTATION FOR NEW ADULT BAR/BAT MITZVAH CLASS
Men and women who are interested in participating in Temple Beth Rishon’s upcoming adult Bar and Bat Mitzvah class are invited to an orientation session at the Temple, 585 Russell Avenue, Wyckoff, on Tuesday evening, January 13, 2009 at 7:00 PM.
The class meets approximately every two weeks for 15 to 18 months. Rabbi Kenneth A. Emert and Cantor Ilan Mamber teach the program, which includes Judaic studies and familiarization with the religious service. Micheline Burke, Temple Beth Rishon’s Hebrew School principal, teaches a special beginning Hebrew reading class for those who need extra help.
At the conclusion of their studies, all of the students participate in a joint Bar//Bat Mitzvah ceremony, leading and chanting the service and delivering individual “D’vrei Torah”, presentations focused on their journey to becoming “B’nai Mitzvah.”
For more information on Temple Beth Rishon’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah program, call Cantor Ilan Mamber at 201-891-4466.
