A Club for Girls...By Girls...Starring Girls!

Don't Just Celebrate A Bat Mitzvah... BECOME ONE!

We are pleased to announce a new opportunity for your daughter's enjoyment and benefit. The Bat Mitzvah Club is designed for Jewish girls as they approach their Bat Mitzvah birthday. A Jewish girl's Bat Mitzvah birthday reflects a major turning point in her life. This club emphasizes that a Bat Mitzvah is a process, not self-contained event that transpires in one day.

Through our involvement with the Jewish community, we have noticed girls of this age manifest heightened interest, curiosity, and energy towards discovering more about themselves and the world around them. The Bat Mitzvah Club's program serves to challenge and stimulate its members as they undergo profound physical, emotional, and intellectual changes. Reaching beyond the common conception of a Bat Mitzvah as simply a Bar Mitzvah for girls, the club serves as a forum for discussion and discovery of the true meaning of Bat Mitzvah It encourages the girls to learn more about this unique time in their lives, to gain new perspectives on their positions as females, as adults, and as Jews. Members enjoy a combination of learning and fun through regular meetings, special programs and field trips, activities, projects, and involvement in the Jewish community.

As they share interests, goals, and experiences, club members develop a sense of unity and friendship with other Jewish girls their age. They learn about the positive contributions they can make to themselves, their families, and the Jewish community at large. These girls will face the future as committed, knowledgeable, confident Jewish women who are proud of their unique identities. Aside from continuing a vibrant heritage from the past, they will form a new generation of readers and active participants in the Jewish community. The Bat Mitzvah Club truly represents a worthwhile investment of your daughter's extracurricular time.

Please contact us for a registration form for application to the Bat Mitzvah club. You can then submit it by email at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to contact us with questions, comments, or requests for further information.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With thanks,

Rabbi and Mrs. Lipskier
