Bar/Bat Mitzvah

Individualized bar and bat mitzvah instruction is provided in addition to the regular Religious School curriculum during the time leading up to the event, generally during the 6th and 7th-grade years.

Our bar and bat mitzvah tutors help prepare the children for this critical life cycle event.

In addition, parents of these students meet for group discussions in preparation for this event and assist with ushering during Shabbat services in the months leading up to their children's b'nai mitzvah.

Tips for Guests:

If this is your first time joining us for services at Congregation Beth Emeth, here are a few helpful things to know.

• If you are participating in the service, please be at CBE no later than 9:30 AM. Services begin at 9:00 AM and most honors take place beginning shortly after 9:30 AM. 
• All men need to wear a head covering and Jewish men need to wear a tallit. 
• No electronic devices -- including cell phones and cameras -- can be used in the building on Shabbat. 
• Small quiet toys and books are welcome for children during the service -- and provided on the bookshelf at the far side of the sanctuary. However, coloring is not permitted on Shabbat.
