Personalized guidance through every step of the B'nai Mitzvah process.
Bay Area B'nai Mitzvah offers personalized and exceptional B'nai Mitzvah mentoring to guide your family through every step of the process. We specialize in working with families that are doing a Bat or Bar Mitzvah independently and outside of the typical synagogue setting.
Our mentoring includes one-on-one lessons customized for each student, a personalized binder with all the prayers they will need to learn, a special Torah portion book with commentaries, audio recordings for all of the prayers and Torah portion, family meetings to plan the ceremony, a two-hour rehearsal prior to the ceremony, and—most importantly—the officiating for your child's Bat/Bar Mitzvah ceremony.
Creating a connection with your child is our top priority. Our lead mentor Miriam is friendly and personable, with a great rapport with her students and families alike. She builds a relationship of trust to help students feel connected to the B'nai Mitzvah process, and helps them learn to love Hebrew and Judaism—even with minimal prior exposure to the Jewish tradition. She creates lessons that are engaging and focused, so your child will be ready on time. A mid-year evaluation marks your child's progress, along with a month-to-month plan of the prayers and Torah portion they will master.
We also offer group mentoring with up to four students. In our group lessons we teach Hebrew (optional), all of the prayers, and Torah portion preparation. Even in a group, each student receives personalized attention, and we make the learning fun through a variety of engaging, outside-the-box activities.
We are here to help your family make the B'nai Mitzvah process meaningful and fun, and to co-create a ceremony that is a powerful reflection of your child and your family.
