This three-session Sunday afternoon program is an opportunity for mothers and daughters to explore the transition of becoming bat mitzvah. Moms and girls will learn and share separately and together and will create a personal ritual to mark this unique time in their lives.

Past participants described the program as "a peaceful oasis in time to focus on and celebrate our relationship to each other, to Judaism, and to this moment in time."

Session Content:

· Discussion of coming of age rituals and experiences

· Exploring mikveh as a lens for understanding transitional rituals; how to create a personal ritual

· Siyyum (completion) -- opportunity for expression of the personal ritual that participants have created, creation of personal midrash to mark this time

Note: immersion is not part of this program; if desired, individual appointments may be scheduled following the program.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 1
