Hello! Our synagogue has chosen to partner with Moving Traditions (www.movingtraditions.org) to pioneer a new approach to b-mitzvah. The Moving Traditions family education and preteen sessions we will be running connect Jewish wisdom to the inter-personal and social elements that come with the coming of age ritual. These sessions aim to help you and your preteen think beyond the bimah or celebration and focus on the core questions of what it means to become a teenager today and what it means to become the parent of a teenager. We will offer practical tips on how to identify the ways you each give and receive love and how to learn to speak one another’s language to more effectively communicate. We look forward to seeing you for our interactive family workshop for preteens/teens and adults, called “Fitting In and Standing Out: How Will I Navigate The Teen Years?”
