Tauber Anshei Mitzvah Program

July 15, 2020 Update: We’ve postponed our Tauber Anshei Mitzvah program with the goal of starting it up again in the fall of 2021. 

Congregation Emanu-El is thrilled to offer the Tauber Anshei Mitzvah, our adult bnei mitzvah, training program.  The next cohort will convene in the fall of 2020. This is an 18-month program, meeting on Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 11:00 am. This course will culminate with a meaningful group bnei mitzvah service. Content will include practical Torah/Haftarah chanting skills, as well as continued academic study and enrichment with our cantors and rabbis. 

Students are not required to know the Alef-Bet before entering the class, although it is helpful. Cantors Attie and Luck will help you learn as you go. We can also recommend fantastic Hebrew tutors should you wish to speed up the process.
