To be called to the Torah as B'nei Mitzvah (being responsible to uphold the commandments) marks a significant milestone in the journey from childhood to maturity for Jewish children.
At Temple Sholom, we strive to ensure that each child and his/her family will experience the spiritual power of this ceremony in a positive, meaningful way.
In preparation for B'nei Mitzvah our students take part in a variety of activities designed to deepen their understanding of Judaism. They engage in study with the synagogue’s B’nei Mitzvah tutor, Annette Kozicki, and Cantor Shani Cohen in order to learn how to conduct the worship service and chant their Torah and Haftorah portions. They participate in social action projects which enhance their awareness of their responsibilities as Jews. And, along with their parents, they attend the synagogue’s innovative Al Shlosha Devarim Program where they have an opportunity to learn with the Rabbis and bond with other families in the B’nei Mitzvah year.
A month prior to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, each student meets with one of the Rabbis for four sessions. During this time, they become acclimated to the pulpit, rehearse reading from the Torah, and practice the prayers and their drosh (sermon).
Our goal is to give every child a victory. We treat every student as an individual, providing whatever is needed to ensure that each B’nei Mitzvah is a wonderfully warm and fulfilling occasion.
Our projects
Participation in a social action “mitzvah project” is an inherent part of every Bar and Bat Mitzvah experience at Temple Sholom.
Here are some Tzedakah links to help generate ideas for mitzvah projects:
Areyvut – Many ideas for mitzvah projects.
Do Something – Great interactive site with project finder.
Girlfriends of Fallen Soldiers – Psychological Support Membership Association of Fallen Soliders
Atzum – Endeavors to open eyes and extend hands to those in need, to confront and remedy injustices in Israel.
Crossroads – The Crossroads Center runs the sole intervention program targeting English-speaking youth at-risk in Israel.
Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind
Agahozo Shalom Youth Village – Creating a safe and structured residential community for orphaned children in Rwanda.
Carmei Ha’ir – Creating a comprehensive framework of support for the poor in a dignified way.
Etgarim – Helping physically challenged children, adolescents and adults to rehabilitate themselves physically, mentally and socially, through challenging sports and outdoor activities.
Adamah – Cultivating vibrant Jewish life in deep connection with the earth. We believe in the deep connection between people & planet, adam & adamah.
Maya Works Weaving Cooperative – MayaWorks is a nonprofit social venture that empowers indigenous women of Guatemala to achieve economic security by providing markets for their handcrafted products, access to microcredit loans and expanded educational opportunities.
Free the Children – Helping children through education.
Yad Ezra V’Shulamit – The organization provides assistance to people and families of dire need throughout the country, with the support of many.

- Elect a slate of officers and trustees for the year June 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026;

Anyone who has already pre-ordered their copy will be able to pick it up and we will have additional copies for sale. (In the future the cookbook will also be available to order on demand via Amazon). We're asking that people bring in their favorite recipe to share. A PDF of the first edition of the cookbook can be found here for anyone who doesn't have a copy of the original and wants to participate in bringing in a dish from the cookbook.
