The Program
What is special about the BMC program?
The Bat Mitzva Club is a one of a kind experience for girls ages 11-13, regardless of synagogue affiliation to come together once a week to celebrate what is means to become a Bat Mitzvah. Club activities include; interactive games, discussions, arts and crafts, community projects, and field trips.
We will also work with each girl individually and prepare her for her personal Bat Mitzvah ceremony.
