Milestones in Our Community
It’s A Date!Excitedly they walked out to the mailbox. They peered in and saw the Chizuk Amuno logo. Before they even got back into the house the envelope had been torn open. There it was in black and white – the Bar Mitzvah date.
It is a significant milestone in a family’s Jewish life, finding out when your child will become Bar or Bat Mitzvah. This month we will be celebrating with our students who will become Bar/Bat Mitzvah in 2015 and have just received their dates. On Thursday, January 10 at 6 p.m. we will throw a dinner party to celebrate with our families. We will teach them about the special parashah that will be theirs, we will introduce them to the synagogue personnel who will guide them on their journey, and we will help them start to think about what it means to become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

Following on the success of our Loring Cornish exhibit last spring, we are pleased to announce two outstanding programs this coming year.
• Sunday, January 6: World-renowned choreographer Liz Lerman will lead workshops exploring Worship through Dance.
