Bnai Mitzvah

This past Saturday and Sunday Rabbi Glazier, our upcoming 7th grade class and I spent a wonderful weekend with our pre-Bnai Mitzvah students on a Kallah/Retreat. Through the generosity of our members, Randy Kay & Marji Meyers who allowed us to use their camp, we drove out to Lake Iroquois in Hinesburg, had dinner, did havdallah and watched a Bnai Mitzvah related video which spurred a lively discussion. The students spent the night with our brave chaperones, Dana & David Rachlin, and parents returned in the morning to continue to discussion, read with their child their assigned Torah portions and answer questions on the whole process. A great time was had by all and it was a fine opportunity to get to know each other outside of the Temple setting.
