What's the point of a Bat Mitzvah anyway?

Are you all caught up with the theme, the clothing and the party favors but clueless about the meaning?
Do you think a Bat Mitzvah ends or begins with your party?

Is it all over once you've passed your Bat Mitzvah celebration?
Join Bat Mitzvah & Beyond and find out.
Here girls learn about Judaism, meet other Jewish girls the same age and have loads of fun!

Share ideas, friendship and fun!

Bat Mitzvah & Beyond shows girls why a Bat Mitzvah is much more than a party. Learn what it really means to be a Bat Mitzvah in the modern world. Get to know your Jewish self through art, creative writing and community outreach.

Discuss hot topics. Share you interests, goals, hopes and dreams. Record your thoughts and ideas in your very own club journal. Express yourself!

Give yourself a Bat Mitzvah gift

Weather you've already celebrated this big milestone, or not - give yourself the best gifts of all: Self confidence, Jewish pride, and lasting friendships. These are the Bat Mitzvah gifts that last a lifetime. Because a Bat Mitzvah is not really about the party it's about you.

Membership Fee: $12 per meeting or $90 for the year

A note from the director:
The celebration of a Bat Mitzvah and the years surrounding it is one of the highlights and great milestone in the life of a Jewish woman.

We must remember that the most important aspect is not the party but rather the impact and long term effects this experience will have on your daughter’s identity as a Jew. We have to make sure that the Bat Mitzvah is not viewed as a graduation from Judaism, but rather the bright beginning of a vibrant Jewish life.

It is for this reason that we have formed Bat Mitzvah & Beyond. The club has been tremendously successful all around the country including various locations in Arizona.

No matter where your daughter plans to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah, the club is a great way to learn, enjoy and meet other Bat Mitzvah age girls. *

Please feel free to email me Sashie@ChabadofPhoenix.com or call me at 602-796-1529 if you have any questions regarding Bat Mitzvah & Beyond or if you wish to join.

*This club is not a preparatory to celebrate the Bat Mitzvah at Chabad. If girls will be celebrating their Bat Mitzvah with Chabad or want instruction through Chabad, we will provide one on one classes with the individual girl 4-6 months prior to the Bat Mitzvah celebration date. Please contact us for more details.
