Nineteen Adult B’nai Mitzvah Students at Temple Adat Elohim Were Called to the Torah

On Friday June 13th and Saturday June 14th, nineteen adults were called to the Torah as Bar and Bat Mitzvah at Temple Adat Elohim. These adults have studied advanced topics in Judaism, learned Hebrew letters and prayers, and learned to chant Torah and Haftarah over a two year period. This period of study culminated in their leading the Friday night and Saturday morning services and reading from Torah. Those being called to the Torah are: Marcia Benjamin, Sandi Black, Diane Darling, Miriam Goodman, Evelyn Green, Cory Jakl, Churee Josephson, Matt Kallinger, Leah Kaplan, Anne Katz, Jodi Matro, Stacy Sanett, Cindy Scott, Gregg Southard, Lisa Statner, Aurora Trogman, Christina Weinberg, Marna Wensil, and Carol Zelden.

The class has been taught by Rabbi Ted Riter, Rabbi Rebecca Dubowe, Cantor David Shukiar, and Lisa Bock. If you are interested in more information about this service or the Adult B’nai Mitzvah program at Temple Adat Elohim, you are invited to call the temple office at (805) 497-7101.
