This program is a gathering to help 7th grade students continue to find their place in congregational life as they embrace their newfound titles of B’Mitzvah and emerge in the community as Jewish adults who can and should be part of a minyan.
The Goals and Objectives of this program:
- 7th graders will further understand their status-change in the community, so that they feel grounded in their lives as emerging Jewish adults. This will happen as they are celebrated for their accomplishments and as they hear about and explore what it means to be a Jewish adult at Shir Tikvah.
- 7th graders will feel called to participate in shiva minyanim, so that they know how to support fellow congregants. This will happen as they learn about shiva coordination and listen to stories about showing up for someone when they experience a death.
