“Interfaith marriage has absolutely expanded my horizons. As a Jew, I also would not have
taken the time to learn so much about Catholicism and the New Testament.
Most of all, if I had been sending my child to a regular temple, I would not have become
a Bat Mitzvah together with my daughter this past June.”
– Carolyn, parent

A number of families have chosen to celebrate their child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah. This is done individually, with preparation tutoring that the family arranges outside the school, working closely with either Rabbi Chava Bahle and Congregation Makom Shalom, or with another rabbi and congregation. Often, as a rabbi leads the ceremony, a priest participates as an honored contributor to the blessing of this moment.
