Bar-Bat Mitzvah Class
Sunday June 3, 12:30 pm

This class is looely designed for parents and kids in 4-6 grade, but is open to anyone, regardless of ages or grades.

This is an interactive class; part of the time parents and kids will be together and part of the time they will be split into their own groupings.  Parents are welcome to attend with or without their children.  The purpose of the class is to learn more about a bar-bat mitzvah process in general, and to learn more about a KB-style bar-bat mitzvah in particular.  We will look at ways of making a bar-bat mitzvah personal and relevant to each child and his/her family, and of making it something that is meaningful, manageable, and not too overwhelming.  In addition to looking at the beginning stages of bar-bat mitzvah planning, this class will help families decide if a bar-bat mitzvah is something they feel is right for them.

Please note: this is one of the very few KB activities that is open to members only. There is no charge for the class, but pre-registration is required; email Renee Lubowich. Lunch will be provided.  We will arrange childcare for younger children upon request.  Registration deadline is May 27.

Boston Jewish History Bike Ride
Sunday June 10, 10 am - 4 pm

From the turn of the 20th Century into the 1960’s, the largest Jewish community in New England was located in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan.  Come join us as we explore the Jewish history of those neighborhoods.  The ride is about 12 miles and most of it is pretty flat and level (although we will climb over the top of Elm Hill).  We’ll stop for a picnic lunch, so bring something to eat. 

Meet at the Giraffe entrance to the Franklin Park Zoo (the corner of Pierpont and Playstead roads, near Seaver Street across from Schoolboy Stadium).  Helmets required.  Steady rain cancels.  For more information, contact Dick Bauer.
