Rodef Sholom: A Reform Jewish Congregation in Marin County, California

Why becoming an adult bat or mitzvah might change your life:

A new Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah class is starting this October 2011!

As Judy Sheppard said in the Voice when she celebrated her bat mitzvah last year:

The unexpected thing that I learned about myself is that I really like chanting Torah -- it's exciting, invigorating and connects me to the thousands of years that our people have been chanting Torah. At first I didn't like the trope. I think I was scared of it. Now, I see it as truly beautiful and magical since I love to sing.

Adult B'nai Mitzvah class
Most Thursdays, 6-7 pm, starting 10/27
Our class ends with a Saturday morning Shabbat service on June 2, 2012, at 10:30 am at which time you will be called to the Torah as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Our focus will be on learning Hebrew, chanting the trope, and understanding the order and meaning of the prayer service. Chanting and teaching Torah is a profoundly moving experience.   There is a fee for this class. Let Cantor David know at 479.3441 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
