Yad B’Yad: An Individualized B’nai Mitzvah Program

Your child just turned 12… now what?

So often, people come to us just as their child turns 12 and say, “Rabbi, Cantor, we want our child to have a B’nai Mitzvah. Is it too late?” After having been told by too many synagogues that their child would have to be part of their religious school for three or four years prior to having a ceremony, they are always thrilled by our response, “Give us six months and we will prepare your child for their special day.” We are excited to work yad b’yad (hand-in-hand) with you.

What We Provide:

Our goal is to provide the B’nai Mitzvah student with the best experience possible. We work with the student to tailor the service to fit their personal learning needs and goals. Our basic package includes:

• 24 study sessions (in-person or on zoom) with Cantorial Soloist Joel Stein
• 6 study sessions with Rabbi Jon Hanish (in-person or on zoom)
• Clergy to assist your child with leading their B’nai Mitzvah service
• Family meetings to discuss the importance of the B’nai Mitzvah Experience

Our Freebies:

As a participant in our Yad b’Yad Program, we offer the following complimentary services to you during your child’s preparation period. These offerings are best suited to those living in the West Valley of Los Angeles.

• Teen Tuesday- a program for 7th to 9th graders
• High Holiday tickets for two adults and two children
• Time in the sanctuary for three hours on the day of the B’nai Mitzvah service (including security and maintenance personnel)
• A community!
