Bnei Mitzvah Reception Location Options

We encourage you to consider holding your Bnei Mitzvah celebration at KJ or in one of the Ramaz locations. KJ is the perfect place to host a family Shabbat dinner, an afternoon Kiddush or luncheon, or an evening party. In addition to the KJ Social Hall and the Heyman Auditorium, multiple spaces are available in the Ramaz Middle and Upper Schools. We are able to accommodate anything from a small family gathering to a large elaborate party.

Please contact Riva Alper, in the KJ office, for more information on reserving space at KJ and Ramaz. Riva will be able to answer all of your questions, will share what has worked well for many families, and will supply information on:
