Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class
Congregation Children of Israel is proud to be offering its first adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah class. This class will meet once a week. The class will have a group Bar/Bat Mitzvah and each student will prepare a portion of the Torah and Haftorah. We anticipate that this will be a community celebration and are offering this class to those in our Temple who never celebrated this coming of age ritual. The class will concentrate on learning the basic prayers and their meaning, and how to chant the Torah trope. Knowledge of Hebrew reading is required. Classes meet on Sundays at 9:45 am.

Beginner's Hebrew
We are offering an adult Beginner's Hebrew class on Sunday mornings at 11:00 am. This class is for anyone who would like to learn the Hebrew alphabet and how to read. There is no fee for the class. Please call the Temple office to register.
