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.
