This exciting robust group of 6th-8th graders meets and studies with Rabbi Riqi to create a cohesive, supportive cohort exploring what does it mean to become B’nei Mitzvah (Bar/Bat/Bet Mitzvah) and empowered to be responsible as a Jewish young person, doing Tikkun Olam (repair of the world), and what are Jewish ways we can celebrate emerging from childhood and crossing over into Teenage-hood. Everyone is encouraged to be involved in other areas of Jewish communal life, and no two celebrations will be alike.  Our focus is not on the “what” but on the “why and what is on the inside.” Whether a musical celebration in our state of the art historic sanctuary, or a DIY backyard service, we focus on being a blessing with the tools of our tradition to thrive personally, apply our passions, and heal the world.  Prior Hebrew or Jewish knowledge is not a pre-requisite.  Class includes veggie pizza dinner.  Read more about BnM at Beit Ahavah at beitahavah.org/teens-tweens, and please speak with Rabbi Riqi to join or help with this amazing group of young people.
