B’nei Mitzvah Program

Children in the B'nei Mitzvah Program.

“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.”

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

 

The Kehilat T'nuvah B'nei Mitzvah Program is a 2-year bible training program designed to help strengthen the Messianic foundation for children 9 and over. Our goal of is to equip students with the skills needed to develop and mature as knowledgeable and responsible disciples of Yeshua.  

Year One
During the first year of our B'nei Mitzvah program, students learn, in great detail, all the basics of what it means to be a follower of Yeshua the Messiah. We teach the princicples of keeping the Shabbat, all of God's celebrations and festivals, the names of God, laying tefillin, the wearing of Tzit Tzit's, what a mezuza is, the purpose of head coverings and we develop deeper understandings surrounding the principles of biblical authority and submission.

Year Two
During year two of the B'nei Mitzvah program we study Jewish cultures and values, including modesty and purity, as well as the differences between courtship and dating. We also study modern Jewish history starting from January 30, 1933, the date of Adolph Hitler's inaguration, to the present. We look at the promises God made to Israel, the timeline concerning Israel and the Jewish people, some of the major events that took place during this timeferame and what promises God has fulfilled as well as what promises remain to be fulfilled.

Ceremony Preparation
It is great to remember that students don't actually have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah; but rather, they become Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a son or a daughter of the commandments of God. During the preparation time, the students will study the Torah portion of their birth and prepare for the various aspects of their ceremony. Our desire is to help prepare each student to enter into adulthood with a strong biblical foundation that will help them make Godly decions in every are of their life as disciples of Messiah Yeshua.
