Adult Simchat Mitzvah (Ages: Adults)

Adult Simchat Mitzvah with Rabbi Arik Labowitz & Harriet Frost

Wednesdays, 7:00–8:30 PM | Nov 12, 2025 - Nov 14, 2026

This year-long journey is designed for adults who didn’t have the opportunity to mark a Bar or Bat Mitzvah—and for those returning to this milestone with new purpose. Together, we’ll deepen our connection to Hebrew, explore the structure and meaning of Jewish prayer, and engage in Torah study.

Participants will learn to chant from the Torah, lead parts of the Shabbat morning service, and craft a personal D’var Torah, supported by Rabbi Arik and a warm, supportive community of fellow learners. Blending spiritual growth with practical learning, this experience will culminate in a meaningful group Simchat Mitzvah celebration.

Hebrew reading fluency required.

80% attendance and monthly Shabbat service participation required.
