The Chai Mitzvah experience is a unique eight-month-long program running from October through May which will provide you with an opportunity to “grow your Judaism” in a personally meaningful way approximately every 18 years after the ages of 12/13.
Through becoming a Chai Mitzvah you will:
- Participate in a specially designed Chai Mitzvah monthly learning group
- Study a Jewish topic of personal interest
- Adopt a new ritual or deepen an existing practice
- Engage in social action activities
- Celebrate
You will be guided throughout this process by your mentor and your community educator.
Determine which age bracket you fit in, if not, consider becoming a Chai Mitzvah Mentor:
26-33
Truly an age of beginnings marking a transition to adulthood. Issues of marriage, career and children are on the horizon. What guidance can the Jewish tradition and community offer?
47-51
Midlife engenders its own spiritual and psychological questions – including health issues, aging parents, and teenage children. How can Judaism be a guide through challenging times?
65-69
Suddenly you have time to learn, mentor and volunteer. Why not reconsider priorities and take on new challenges in a Jewish context?
80+
Create memories. Be a role model for your family. Contemplate and celebrate life as a Chai Mitzvah.
