B'nei Mitzvah Date Request
Please verify reCaptcha before submitting the form.
Your Temple Israel of Alameda community is honored to help your child / children grow into their connection to Judaism. You can request a date when your child is in the fourth grade or older. The B'nei Mitzvah fee is paid during the fiscal year when the B'nei Mitzvah occurs.
Please use this form to request a date for your child's
B'nei / Bat / Bar / Be Mitzvah

We celebrate these simchas during Shabbat Shacharit service, on Saturday morning beginning at 10:30am. Your child will also help lead Kabbalat Shabbat service on the Friday before being called to the Torah.
This form needs to be submitted at least seven months prior to the date you are requesting.
Unfortunately, we cannot schedule in the month of July nor on a Jewish holiday.
As always, if you have any questions or would like to speak more about the B’nei Mitzvah process, please feel free to contact Rabbi Minster –

B'NEI MITZVAH FEE
The fee for a B'nei Mitzvah is $2,500. This payment includes:
Six months of weekly tutoring to learn Biblical portions. (Torah and Haftarah)
Three months of weekly meetings with Rabbi Minster to discuss portion and develop a D'var Torah.
Facility fee
We expect that our students will learn the prayers they will lead as part of their Temple Israel Religious School education. If your child needs additional help learning prayers, you will be responsible for paying for that tutoring time. We will discuss scheduling your simcha more than seven months in advance if your child needs this additional support. This ensures your child has enough time to sink into the material. When we discuss the need for additional tutoring, we will provide an estimate on how much additional time is needed and what the cost will be.

You will have the opportunity to make monthly payments or pay in full after submitting this form.
Please share any other information that would be helpful for us to know. For example, specific reasons that one of your dates is important or any other information about your family that you would like us to know. Rabbi Minster and Dr. Jenn Levine are the only people who review this information - we keep all family information confidential.
