Adult B. Mitzvah Program 2026-2027
Our Adult BMitzvah Program is an 18-month opportunity to deepen your connection to Judaism and Temple Shalom through immersive learning, community building, and personal reflection. Whether you never had the opportunity to become BMitzvah, you converted to Judaism in adulthood or recently discovered your Jewish identity, or your BMitzvah as a teen was a blur and you now seek a more intentional Jewish learning experience, this journey is designed to meet you where you are. (We also welcome those pursuing conversion to Judaism to participate, with the program culminating in both conversion and BMitzvah.)
The 18 month BMitzvah journey includes monthly Shabbat morning cohort gatherings (11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.), plus participation in Torah study, Shabbat services, holiday celebrations, and community events. Led by our HUC-JIR rabbinic intern Geffen Rosenthal in partnership with Rabbi Gubitz and our clergy, the curriculum explores theology, history, spirituality, Hebrew, and prayer—helping participants build knowledge, explore personal beliefs and strengthen connections to the enduring story of the Jewish people.

The program launches with an afternoon Shabbaton on Saturday, January 10, 2026 , establishing the foundation for our supportive learning community. Our journey culminates in a joyful communal celebration on Shavuot, Sunday, June 12, 2027, when participants will become BMitzvah at Temple Shalom.
Registration is now open. We invite you to take this meaningful step in your Jewish journey.
