Rabbi Gary’s Totally Excellent Torah and Travel Camps:
This day camp takes place during the holidays and gives the students a
chance to be together informally with Rabbi Robuck. The groups usually go
on outings and have visited the zoo, the blue mountains to name just two
adventures.

Bar and Bat mitzvah: In preparing for Bar and Bat Mitzvah, students
build a foundation of understanding in Jewish history, values, religious
observance and liturgical Hebrew. We offer the same preparation and
opportunities, and hold the same expectations, for both boys and girls.
Preparation for Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies is intellectually
challenging and spiritually rewarding. Students must be enrolled in our
program from Year 5 or an alternative arrangement must be made with the
Rabbi.
It is a requirement that the families of prospective B’nei Mitzvah
students must be members of the congregation for three years prior to
their simcha.
