This intergenerational program is for anyone who wants to become more fully engaged in their congregation. Chai Mitzvah combines study, ritual and social action, providing the framework for a meaningful Jewish journey.
There are five components to the nine-month experience:
- Group Study – monthly sessions
- Independent Study – choose a Jewish topic you wish to explore
- Ritual – choose a ritual or spiritual practice to incorporate into your life
- Social Action – choose a local volunteer opportunity (individually or as a group)
- Celebrate! – At the end of the program, we will acknowledge your journey, present you with a certificate, and have a tree planted in Israel in your honor through Chai Mitzvah’s partnership with Jewish National Fund.
9-month course CAI members $36; guests $50.
RSVP required. To learn more or to join CAI’s Chai Mitzvah group, contact Rabbi Robert Eisen.
