B-Mitzvah!(SM) (B’nai Mitzvah) Specialist Training
The methods of Jewish Spiritual Education (JSE) connect B’nei Mitzvah students’ intellectual learning to their physical, emotional and spiritual experiences in ways that support them to develop as whole persons. The JSE model includes learning healthy processes to guide students of any age, plus transformational Jewish practices that will help students arrive at the day of their ritual with a strong sense of integrity and authenticity.

Our methods are effective across the spectrum of Jewish life and learning.Through curriculum, lesson plans, D’var Torah lab, ritual and celebration approaches and case studies, we will support you in new ways to evolve and customize your teaching to your students’ needs.
You’ll develop supportive, soulful relationships with healthy boundaries. You’ll create an approach grounded in Jewish wisdom for living. And you will inspire students to live a mitzvah-centered life, including the vital mitzvot of self-care.
Completion of this training conveys 8 credits towards the option of continuing in the Maggid-Educator Certification and/or Ordination Training [2]
