Makom – Jewish Learning for Kids | מְקוֹם
Robust content, creative expression, and practical tools for building Jewish life for TK-B’nai Mitzvah.
The word makom means “place”, and we are developing an understanding that every place can be a Jewish place. Using art, storytelling, text study, discussion, service learning, music, and movement – we offer a full bodied experience of Jewish education!
Weekend classes focus on:
- Blessings/T’filah: to learn, unpack, and appreciate prayer
- Middot: our soul traits, which we apply to real life situations
- Torah: examining and questioning the story behind the story; learning to interpret themes
- Hebrew: learning to read Hebrew, studying the Aleph-Bet, and building vocabulary for Jewish prayer, middot, and Torah.
- Jews around the World: learning about our diverse, global Jewish experiences, indentities, and practices
B’nai Mitzvah | בְּנֵי מִצְוָה
The Nefesh B’nai Mitzvah program embraces our inner lives and spiritual growth; care, responsibility and knowledge of others; and the repair of the world. We believe that becoming a B’nai Mitzvah at any age is an individual moment and a collective moment all at once. It is about your story and the story of our people.
If you are interested in exploring having a B’nai Mitzvah with Nefesh, please contact us and someone will be in touch with you.
