Bar and Bat Mitzvah

B'nei Mitzvah Study

Temple Ohabei Shalom has called young Jews to the bimah for 170 years. Working with our capable teachers, Rabbi Audrey Marcus Berkman and Rabbi Daniel Schaefer will spend a thoughtful year preparing your child for this most precious of occasions. In the years preceding your child's bar or bat mitzvah, families participate in a community havurah (group of friends)  which builds community, helps students develop their skills, and prepares the whole family for this momentous occasion. Our historic Sanctuary as backdrop adds just the right amount of tradition to innovative and inspiring B'nei Mitzvah services. With full caterer's kitchens and banquet halls, our Facilities staff are ready to help you plan your family's special day.
