B'NEI MITZVAH RESOURCES

B'nei Mitzvah Handbook
This handbook is designed to be a practical outline for the creation of your own congregational manual. The hope is that it will help b'nei mitzvah families manage the practical aspects of this significant moment in their lives so that they can focus on the spiritual significance of the preparation, the day itself, and the years that follow. Have questions about the handbook?
Here's a one-page summary of what it is, who it's for and how to use it.
