A B'Mitzvah is an exciting time; a moment of growth and development followed by communal celebration. We wish you a huge Mazel Tov and are pleased that you are considering taking this journey with us.

Our BM Mechina Programme aims to nurture and guide a soon-to-be teenager's natural curiosity through what can be both an exciting yet vulnerable period in their live. For some general background on B'Mitzvah please check out this short article: B'Mitzvah in 1,000 Words

Our programme provides multiple opportunities for you and your child to make connections with other families, our rabbis and B'Mitzvah Team. During their time with us your child will bond with their B'Mitzvah peers whilst exploring Jewish wisdom on navigating our complex world. As part of this process they will engage with Jewish ways of praying and reading Torah.

Children typically begin their B’Mitzvah preparations with us around 4 terms (approx 15 months) before their celebration date. Children (and their families) progress in cohorts of around 10-15 as they move through the four steps of our programme. 

There are few requirements to marking your child's B'Mitzvah with us though you must be a member of our synagogue.  Please be aware that, with around 40 B'Mitzvahs a year, we tend to set ceremony date several years in advance.  If you are not a member, but considering a B'Mitvah at Radlett Reform, it is best to be in touch with us at the earliest opportunity.

All families having a B'Mitzvah at Radlett Reform are asked to make a contribution to the running-costs of the programme. This money helps ensure a well staffed and well-run programme; one in which all each family gets the support they require. If paying the contribution presents an issue please be in touch with us for a confidential discussion. 

We look forward to sharing this wonderful time with you and your family. If you would like more information, please contact Rabbi DY or our BMM Programme Coordinator Laurence Turner.
