This program will run on Tuesday afternoons from 4:15–6:00 PM and will feature expanded involvement from our clergy team. It is designed as an optional add-on for students enrolled in OTT, but can also be taken as a standalone program for students attending OJCS or other supplementary Jewish schools. Please note that this program does not replace the Sunday OTT experience.
The B Mitzvah Program includes a thoughtful and engaging curriculum that explores what it means for young people to take on the responsibilities and opportunities of living a Jewish life. Hands-on activities and meaningful discussions will deepen their understanding and connection.
