"Through the program [my daughter] was able to connect to her roots through classes, research and the arts... Not only did this program make my daughter proud of her Jewish side, it also helped her see how Jews have been and will be, contributing members to society as a whole." |
Then have we got a program for you!
The Secular B'nai Mitzvah Program provides a rare opportunity for graduating students, parents and educators to collectively shape their secular B’nai Mitzvah ceremony, custom-tailoring it to highlight the specific interests and talents of the graduates. Under staff guidance, students select a Jewish topic of their choice, research it, and present their papers as part of a community ceremony. Former research topics have included: The Kindertransport; The Jewish Road to Hollywood; Kensington Market; Marc Chagall; The Pale of Settlement; Art in the Holocaust and None is Too Many. The Program and resulting ceremony require two full years of preparation and a substantial commitment of time and effort on the part of the students, parents, and the School. This teamwork builds lasting connections between the students, their families, and the School.
