For Bar/Bat Mitzvah Learning and Ceremony for Pre-Teens
Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks
|
"Rabbi Brian’s b'nai mitzvah program has been so great for my twelve-year-old daughter in preparing for her bat mitzvah. Brian brings depth and meaning to the service. The kids do not merely learn to recite the prayers. They learn take joy in the practice and to truly lead the service. Brian is an attentive listener and an engaging teacher. Most amazingly, through gentle persistence, Brian has gotten my daughter and me well on our way to a daily (or most days) meditation practice that has been keeping us connected in these ‘tween times."
