Bar Mitzvah

While every congregation has different requirements for Bar and Bat Mitzvah, All Jewish Education can take your goals and objectives and convert them into an effective program, emphasizing the spiritual growth of the children and the powerful family forces that propel kids towards Bar and Bat Mitzvah. We can help to design family retreats, mitzvah projects, study materials and even help with special needs accommodations.




B'nai Mitzvah planning

High school

High School B'nai Torah program

The pride and joy of All Jewish Education is Rabbi Parr's nationally recognized B'nai Torah High School program. Created as an alternative to the traditional Confirmation program, B'nai Torah integrates formal and informal education, prayer options, youth group and camping experiences, teacher's aide programs and mitzvah work into a total Jewish experience.

The pinnacle of the B'nai Torah program is the Bagrut (Graduation) ceremony at the end of 12th Grade. While the traditional 10th Grade Confirmation is certainly possible in a B'nai Torah program, placing the emphasis of the entire Religious School on a 12th Grade Bagrut revolutionizes the culture of a Religious School. Post-B'nai Mitzvah retention rates soar with a B'nai Torah program; it will certainly separate your school from all other supplemental Religious Schools.

All Jewish Education will send an experienced B'nai Torah director to work with your school to help you design a program that will fit your needs. After consulting with students, parents, and the synagogue leadership, All Jewish Education will help you set up the structure necessary for the success of the B'nai Torah program.

It bears repeating: B'nai Torah is the most important addition to your Religious School. All Jewish Education is the sole provider of the B'nai Torah program to supplemental Religious Schools in North America.

Special Needs Populations

All religious schools deal with students who have learning differences, such as ADHD and Dyslexia. All Jewish Education can offer support to Educators and teachers, enabling them to design more effective strategies to reach these students. In addition, All Jewish Education has experience in working with children on the Autism-Asperger's spectrum, as well as with children who are mildly mentally or physically handicapped.

All Jewish children deserve a quality Jewish education. All Jewish Education includes children with special needs among its most important beneficiaries.

Adults

Adult B'nai Mitzvah

All Jewish Education believes that Adult Education is one of the cornerstones to an effective youth education program. When the adults are learning, the children are learning more effectively.

All Jewish Education has designed a two-year Adult B'nai Mitzvah program that includes Hebrew language instruction, a year-long study of the prayerbook as well as a history of American Judaism and issues of ritual and social justice. Designed to follow an Introduction to Judaism class (which All Jewish Education can also design), the Adult B'nai Mitzvah program is a way in which dedicated adults can become expert in prayer and ritual. Often, these adult B'nai Mitzvah become leaders of the congregation, religious school teachers and treasured Jewish resources.

Introduction To Judaism

All Jewish Education can provide you with a comprehensive Introduction to Judaism curriculum for adult learners. Whether you are creating a class for adults considering conversion, Torah Lishma (Torah for its own sake) or a class that will serve both goals, All Jewish Education has the materials for you.

Of course, all conversions should be undertaken under the guidance of a local rabbi. However, our curriculum guides can be customized to assist the rabbi and other teachers create a challenging yet effective course.
