Taught by Beth Am Clergy

Did you miss out on celebrating becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah as a thirteen-year-old? Did you have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah but wish it had been more meaningful? It’s not too late! Join our adult B’nei Mitzvah class and deepen your personal understanding of what it means to be a Jew and a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, one who takes responsibility for mitzvot (holy obligations). Our learning will culminate in a joyful Shabbat morning service on Saturday, April 26, 2025, during which the class will lead the liturgy, chant Torah and Haftarah, and deliver divrei Torah (teachings on the Torah portion).

Tuition: $360
To request a scholarship, please contact Jeremy Ragent.

Enrolling in Adult Beginning Prayerbook Hebrew is recommended.

Registration is now closed. Questions? Contact Cantor Jaime Shpall at cantor_shpall@betham.org or call (650) 493-4661.

Beth Am Women Rosh Chodesh: Cheshvan

Wednesday, Oct 22nd 7:30p to 9:15pAfter the craziness of the Yamim Nora'im, the High Holy Da ys and Sukkot, it is fitting that we have a month of quiet, darkness and a time to reset, refocus, and prepare for the coming winter months. We will consider what our tradition has to say about darkness and light, and share our experiences of how we find that light in our own lives.
