B’nai
Mitzvah Education
It may seem a long time away, but if your child will become of age (boys 13,
girls 12) within the next four years, it is time to book a date for the Bar/Bat
Mitzvah.
Shaarey Zedek has developed a B'nai Mitzvah program that will ensure your child will be
confident and well-prepared to ascend the Bimah on that wonderful day.
His/her preparation will begin with a mandatory program for kids only that supports their explorations of what it means to
become Bar/Bat Mitzvah and to be a Jew in today’s world. Weekly individual Maftir and Haftarah lessons with our tutors will begin approximately seven
to eight
months before the simcha. And two to three months before, he/she will begin weekly
meetings with Rabbi Green. Together, they will develop the meaningful
presentations he/she will give at the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Your child’s learning doesn’t have to end when the lights are turned out
after the Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration ends. Shaarey Zedek offers continued
growth and involvement in our Post-B’nai Mitzvah program and/or Junior
Chazzanim group, and with ongoing
participation in our Shabbat and daily services.
To book a Bar/Bat Mitzvah date, contact Ian Staniloff, Executive
Director, at 452 3711 x482. ▲
Further
Instructions
Post-B’nai Mitzvah
Education for the Real World
With Rabbi Lawrence Pinsker
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
There’s a famous poster that says:
“This life is a test. It is only a test. If this had been a real life, you
would have received further instructions as to where to go and what to do.”
Sometimes life really feels that way. But Judaism teaches that we received
“further instructions” on how to live in spite of the existence of a lot of
distracting, confusing, and frightening attitudes and events. Whatever
Jewish education you may have received, we’re pretty confident that it
probably didn’t go into those “further instructions” because somebody
thought you weren’t mature enough to understand them. We think you’re ready
now. If you had your Bar/Bat Mitzvah in 2005 to 2008, we invite you to join
us. There’s no homework, no written essays, no exams—just a great group of
young people examining issues that interest them, evaluating whether and how
some of the tools Judaism has provided to us can help us understand
real-life events and situations.
This group will meet weekly and begin with a light dinner followed by
the evening’s activity.
There is no fee for this program.
For planning purposes we ask
that you register by calling 452 3711 x453
a few days before each meeting to
let us know your are coming.

Junior Chazzanim Group
Wednesdays at 4:30 PM
Have you had your Bar or
Bat mitzvah and like to sing and lead services? The Junior Chazzanim group
is a great way to continue learning and being apart of services. Meeting
weekly, the group will practice and prepare for monthly Friday night
Kabbalat Shabbat services with keyboard accompaniment that they will lead
along with Chazzan Mass. They also participate annually at the synagogue
boat cruise (check out the photos on our website) and other special
services. Dinner is provided each week. There is no fee to participate and
members and non-members are welcome. For more information or to sign up,
contact Chazzan Mass at 452 3711 x464 or
cantor@shaareyzedek.mb.ca.
