Provides the tools and understanding necessary to create a
conscious Bar/Bat Mitzvah experience infused with spirituality and
meaning. The original purpose of this important rite of passage is
carefully reclaimed: Ensuring a healthy Jewish lens for living is
conveyed to each student; a lens that supports love of life and
respect for life. The building blocks of a mitzvah-centered life
are taught through the methods of experiential and Jewish spiritual
education. Step-by-step guides and riveting true stories help all
involved to feel personally touched by Torah; through weaving
student and family feelings, needs, interests, skills and talents
into the preparation process, ritual and celebration. This
innovative approach reduces stress and cultivates loving
connections to family, friends, community and heritage. B'nai
Mitzvah becomes a far more meaningful and memorable chapter of life
as award-winning master teacher Rabbi Dr. Goldie Milgram
inclusively leads every kind of family through this engaging,
carefully researched and proven effective planning and preparation
process.
