At Or Zarua, we support and encourage participation in ritual and cultural life in our community, and are dedicated to helping our B’nei Mitzvah students chart a course to develop as Jewish adults.
So many of our endeavors can be informed by Jewish wisdom, sparked by Jewish values, and can feel like a part of our Jewish lives even when it’s not so obvious that we’re on a Jewish path. As such, as part of our youth’s preparation for B’nei Mitzvah, we seek to build bridges to the many varied aspects of our community, to facilitate exploration of different interests and commitments in our Jewish lives.
Please contact Rabbi Bolton at rabbibolton@orzarua.org for more information becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in the Or Zarua community.
As part of your celebration, you may wish to sponsor kiddush or rent space in the building for a celebration.
For questions and more information, please contact Rhonda Sherwin at rsherwin@orzarua.org.
