We are particularly in need of a volunteer to assist with Friday, August 26th (7:30 service). If you are interested in helping out or learning more, email Kayla in the office.
Adult B’nai Mitzvah Group Forming!
Are you Jewish and never had a b’nai mitzvah? Whatever the reason it didn’t happen when you were 13, it is not too late. Having an adult b’nai mitzvah can be a wonderful way to celebrate and affirm one’s Jewish identity. Rabbi Seth is forming an adult b’nai mitzvah cohort to meet monthly over the course of the coming year (beginning in the fall) with the goal of a group ceremony in May of 2023. We will have the opportunity to learn together and plan together based on both individual and group interests, as well as engage with a curriculum developed by Rabbi Seth. All skill levels welcome. If you are interested, please contact rabbi@bethhatfiloh.org to let him know. Again, this is the name collecting phase, we will have an orientation for interested folks in the late summer, so even if you are not sure, reach out!
