Celebration and Life Cycle Events
 

B'nai Mitzvah
 
Rabbi Levine personally prepares each student for B'nai Mitzvah. Students learn to conduct the Shabbat Service, read or chant the Torah and Haftarah portions, and prepare a commentary called the Dvar Torah.  At Temple Judea every B'nai Mitzvah is is different, special in its own way.  Rabbi Levine insures that each ceremony reflects the uniqueness of each student.
 Consecration
 
New Youth Education Program (YEP) students are blessed and consecrated during Simhat Torah Services.  The entire congregation rejoices with our young people by blessing them with prayer, as we celebrate the beginning of their Jewish studies.

Confirmation
 
Tenth Graders, with Rabbi Levine, study texts especially prepared for them by The Union for Reform Judaism. They learn about themselves, the importance of healthy relationships, and the unique role young men and women share in building secure homes and synagogues filled with spirituality and purpose.

Religious School Graduation
 
Seventh Graders conclude their study at our religious school with an inspiring graduation ceremony. We celebrate their accomplishments and affirm the pride we have in each and every student.

Preschool Programs

Preschoolers fill our temple with life and energy. They are an important part of our programming and activities. Mommy and Me classes bring them into the temple on a regular basis. Sunday morning Parade of Holidays introduces them to our Religious School. Tot Shabbat, Family Shabbat Dinner Services, Story Telling Shabbat, High Holy Day Children's Service and each holiday throughout the year are created to welcome and include our youngest members. We want them to learn the joy of celebration and to know they are at home at Temple Judea.

Weddings
 
Temple Judea's historical sanctuary enhances the sacred nature of the wedding ceremony.  Rabbi Levine holds intensive sessions with each couple preparing them for a marriage of compassion, patience, and mutual growth.
Baby and Child Namings
 
Children can receive a Hebrew name at any age. Rabbi Levine works with each family in developing a unique venue and ceremony for this joyous and spiritual time.

Funeral
 
Rabbi Levine helps families create a comforting funeral service for their loved ones followed by a day by day ritual of returning to the mitzvah of celebrating God's gift of life.
