Getting ready for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Then Raise Your Yad!

5th-8th grade students are invited to create a custom yad (hand pointer) to use to read from the Torah at their upcoming B'nai Mitzvah! Parents, please join your child(ren) at Temple to meet local artist Gail Rosenbloom Kaplan who will help us create a beautiful custom yad! Afterward, Rabbi Arianna Gordon will meet you at the Torah to put your new Yad to use!

$25/yad, $6/yad stand (optional)

Advance registration required. Questions? Contact Alicia at 248-661-5725 or email alicia@temple-israel.org.

This event may take place indoors. Masks will be required by all participants, regardless of vaccination status.
