Join us for Musical Kabbalat Shabbat Friday 2 December 6:00 pm
Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner
In this week's class, we learned about different aspects that make up our Jewish identity. We discussed which aspects the children may like to explore or do more of as they prepare to be young Jewish adults. Ideas like Israel, food and family resonated with many of the students. In pairs, they had short 1 on 1 conversations in about what we like about Kehilat Nitzan, being Jewish and their feelings about their upcoming B’nei Mitzvahs. We practised Adon Olam and even learned what ‘Adon Olam’ means. Test your kids! (Cheat sheet: it means Master of the World). Important Dates: Last Class: Wednesday 7 December Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah Info Night 5 pm, 11 December at KN Hanukkah BBQ Bonanza 5:30 pm, 19 December
If you know of a student age 9-12, invite them and their family to check out our Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah program. You'll be glad you did. For more information contact the Kehilat Nitzan at 9500 0906 or info@kehilatnitzan.org.au
