o doubt about the centrality of the bar/bat mitzvah experience in the lives of our families. Approximately 90 children will celebrate becoming a bar or bat mitzvah this year at Temple Emanu-El. The rabbis and the cantor are involved integrally in this program. Temple Emanu-El affords its members the opportunity of participating either at the public worship service on Shabbat morning or at a private family service that may be scheduled on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon or evening, or Sunday. We take pride in the fact that only one bar/bat mitzvah student participates at a given service.
For specific information about planning the ceremony of calling a Bar/Bat Mitzvah to the Torah, contact our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Coordinator in the Temple Office. To contact the member of our clergy with whom you can discuss issues related to preparation and ritual, click here.
