SUMMARY:Pre BMitzvah
DESCRIPTION:4th through pre-B/Mitzvah 8th grade students should plan to attend an in-person Shabbat service with Morah Rhonda Ginsberg at CBE\, Norwalk\, starting at 10am in the chapel. Students will become more familiar with our service\, practice their prayers\, and prepare for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah.  They will help lead the Torah service and other parts of the service\, as appropriate.\n\nThis year we are excited to add 4th graders to join the group. They will start to recognize the prayers they are learning in Kesher and follow the flow of the service.  Practice makes perfect!\nWe hope that our 7th and pre-B/Mitzvah 8th graders\, especially\, will attend more often to become familiar with the service prior to B/mitzvah.\nAs always\, parents are welcome to join us too and participate in the service.  Please plan to stay for kiddish lunch and socialize after services.\nPlease note the dates listed below in your calendar to avoid as much conflict as possible.  Note: If you are dropping off your child\, please remember your door code for pickup.\nDates for pre-B/Mitzvah services:\nJan 31\, Feb. 28\, March 21\, April 25\, May 9\, June 13
