What does it mean to become a Jewish Adult? How do we go about it?

Tweens with their families, and families of all ages, are invited to come explore adulthood with Machaneh Shabbat this Saturday, December 10th. The program will explore what it means to become a Jewish adult (which happens without ceremony - just by having a birthday). We will look at questions of ages and stages that we think are appropriate to have certain responsibilities, privileges and abilities and what Judaism has to say, as well as the question of obligations of adulthood - secular and Jewish alike. While the kids have the chance to create miniatures - miniature Torahs, arks, sanctuaries etc. and get hands on with the synagogue items by doing so – Rabbi Liz will be available to chat with adults and any youngsters interested about all things coming of age, including bar and bat mitzvah.

Cost is $18/family and is open to the entire community.

RSVP and more information to OrH educator Eliyanah at educator@orh.ca
