Bar and Bat Mitzvah Support

Many BJEP students have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, but it is not required. BJEP offers informational meetings every spring for parents of students in the fifth and sixth grades to discuss steps in planning for the celebration. While BJEP introduces  children to the fundamentals of a Shabbat service, parents are responsible for any individual Bar or Bat Mitzvah tutoring for their child. Families are also responsible for all costs and for making all arrangements for their child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah. BJEP families can choose to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah at Brandeis University through Brandeis Hillel.
