A Meaningful Milestone at Any Stage of Life
What Is an Adult B’nei Mitzvah?
An Adult B’nei Mitzvah is a transformative Jewish milestone for adults who did not become bar or bat mitzvah at age 13.
At Temple Adat Elohim, our 18-month program focuses on Hebrew, liturgy, Torah study, and essential Jewish knowledge.
The experience culminates in a meaningful Shabbat service with Torah readings and participant teachings.
Why Adults Choose This Journey
Participants join for many reasons: limited access to Jewish education in childhood, gender restrictions in previous communities, becoming Jewish later in life, or modeling intentional Jewish living for loved ones.
What You’ll Learn
Students learn to read Hebrew prayers, explore their meaning, engage deeply with Torah, and strengthen their personal connection to spirituality and Jewish ritual life.
