Mazal Tov on your Bar or Bat Mitzvah!

To be called to the Torah as a Bar or Bat Mitzvah (meaning “son/daughter of the commandment”)
marks a significant milestone in the journey from childhood to maturity for Jewish boys and girls.

At Beth Torah, we strive to ensure that each child and his/her family will experience the spiritual
power of this ceremony in a positive, meaningful way. For more information about B’nai Mitzvah
at Beth Torah, please contact Cantor Ben Silverberg, our B’nai Mitzvah Concierge.

To get started, complete the intake form below and our staff will respond with next steps.
