A Year of Living Jewishly
What It’s All About
For almost 20 years, Rabbi Yossi’s vision has been to introduce Bar/Bat Mitzvah aged children to the principles of Judaism, by learning about its values, and living them as well. Rabbi Yossi’s novel approach provides students with a fresh appreciation of Jewish culture and heritage, and a memorable B’nai Mitzvah experience.
The Year of Living Jewishly program for Bar/Bat Mitzvah aged children frames this year as the first year of their journey towards a Jewish adulthood. The curriculum is founded on experiential principles and offers a modern and self-challenging approach to teaching and learning about Judaism.
What is unique about YLJ?
Rabbi Yossi’s dynamic, teen aware personality resonates with young people, encouraging a connection that can last a lifetime. Under his watchful eye, and throughout a year of study and hands on involvement in Jewish causes, B’nai Mitzvah are readied to move into adulthood with a useful toolkit of Jewish values, relevant and applicable to their everyday modern lives.
