- In 2011/2012 participants will continue with Hebrew if needed, and work with Rabbi Dollin to prepare for the group bar/bat mitzvah, to be celebrated at morning services on March 17, 2012.

CORE Training-Chevrutah Offerings in Religious Education

Have you ever wanted to learn the bedtime shema? How to keep kosher? How to say the mourner's Kaddish? Or just about anything else about Judaism? We can help! Contact Naomi and she will put you in touch with a knowledgeable member who will teach you what you want to know on your own mutually agreed upon times, places, and numbers of meetings. It's a convenient way to learn what you've always wanted to know (or perhaps learned in kindergarten but have forgotten). Email Naomi Kirshner or call 303-758-9400 x213
