B’nai Mitzvah Program
Beit Ruth’s B’nai Mitzvah Program is designed to inspire youth as they approach their bat or bar mitzvah while providing them opportunities to live their Jewish and human values of helping others.
Becoming a Jewish adult means being responsible for one’s actions and continuing to lead a life of mitzvot, commandments or good deeds.
Supporting your child as they prepare to become a bat or bar mitzvah is a meaningful way to engage them and your entire family in important Jewish values, including tikkun olam, repairing the world.
There are many opportunities to help repair the world through our B’nai Mitzvah Program. We partner with you and your child on a unique mitzvah experience that connects their interests and hobbies to our mission to heal and care for at-risk girls and young women.
Here are just some of the programs B’nai Mitzvah projects can support:
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Through this specialized therapy with rescue dogs and horses, girls attain improved communication skills, confidence, and self-esteem. They also experience unconditional love that helps them rebuild trust.
Sports and Dance Programs
These programs introduce our girls to physical fitness and healthy lifestyle concepts, while also promoting a positive body image. Girls learn teamwork, leadership, communication, gender empowerment, and self-confidence, all of which contribute to emotional well-being.
Art and Music Therapy
These evidence-based programs build personal and technical skills; uncover hidden talents and passions; and provide a safe medium through which our girls can communicate their pain and hopes for the future.
Academic Programs
Our intensive academic program helps each girl close the gap on lost years of education in less than a year. The girls at Beit Ruth are taught by specially trained and highly qualified teachers who follow an intensive curriculum set out by Israel’s Ministry of Education.
