This year we at COJECO are exploring the need and interest of the Russian-speaking Jewish community for a customized, culturally sensitive, pluralistic family program for parents and their children leading up to Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
We envision a year-long program that would offer Russian-speaking Jewish families an immersive, multifaceted experience so children and parents can learn about the history, significance, traditions, and rituals of becoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah through a culturally sensitive lens and with a like-minded community.
