Tawonga B*Mitzvah Program Info Session

Tuesday, August 25, 7:15pm PST

Tawonga’s B*Mitzvah program is a Bay Area-based alternative (or addition) to Hebrew school for 5th and 6th graders who are excited to take the next step toward becoming Jewish adults and to build community, Tawonga-style.

We would love to share more with you about this program and invite you to join the virtual info session on August 25th. The info session is geared toward adults but children are welcome to join.

We hope you see you there!
