STEP 2: MEET WITH A KJ RABBI

We recognize there are a diversity of backgrounds within our community and a Bar/Bat Mitzvah service can take many forms.

In order to ensure the celebration that is optimal for you and your child, we encourage every family to schedule a family meeting with a KJ rabbi as follows:

Ramaz Students

Immediately upon completion of the date selection process with Kenny Rochlin’s office.

STEP 3: RESERVE THE SPACE FOR BOTH THE SYNAGOGUE SERVICE & CELEBRATION

After confirming a date with Ramaz, please contact Riva Alper to guarantee the space for your celebration at KJ.

Synagogue services are held in a number of different locations. In addition, there are many locations available for a reception following services. Please be sure to discuss the options with Riva and a KJ rabbi so that everything may be planned and reserved accordingly.

JYC Students Speak with JYC Director.

All Other Families

Two years prior to your daughter’s 12th birthday or two years prior to your son’s 13th birthday.

For more information about reception locations see options on page 11.
