Schmooze with the Rabbi
Have questions you’ve always wanted to ask a rabbi but never had the chance? Maybe you just want to meet new people and have some great conversations over lunch? Well, this is the program for you! The conversation is on us, lunch is on you.
For more information, please visit our Upcoming Events page.
Adult B'nai Mitzvah
For whatever reason, you did not become Bar or Bat Mitzvah at age 13. No need to worry! Spend a year with Rabbi Hertz preparing to lead services and chant from our sacred scriptures, all while deepening your Jewish involvement and understanding.
The Adult B'nai Mitzvah course is usually in person only. Keep an eye out for when registration is open.
