During 6th grade, the pre-B'nai Mitzvah year, all of our families, both day school and religious school, join together for at least six family workshops to learn about various important subjects such as T'fillin, Tallit, and having an Aliyah. They create a vision board of what they want their B'nai Mitzvah experience to look like and mean to their family. This year we added in three additional oppertunitites to study text with Rabbi Rose. Sunday, we had our final workshop of the year, Tallit making. This is always a favorite. After spending time studying about the mitzvah of Tallit with Rabbi Rose, our families each made a personalized tallit for their upcoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
The class will be displaying their new Tallitot during services on May 21st. I hope you will come and share in the experience as our 2011-2012 B'nai Mitzvah class begins to experience the mitzvah of putting on a Tallit.
