Youth Programs
Come to our Youth Programs Info Night at Chochmat on Monday August 3rd!
Mitzvat HaLev (Connect to the Heart)
Chochmat HaLev’s innovative B’Mitzvah program for 6th-8th graders fosters learning and relationships for a life-long Jewish journey. In our program, students are steeped in Chochmat’s unique approach to Judaism, blending embodied and joyful prayer, connection with ancient texts and rituals, and deep progressive values. Families work together with our clergy team to design and prepare for a meaningful B’Mitzvah ritual in community to mark this important milestone. Students develop life-long friendships through cohort-based learning. The journey involves opportunities for families to learn together, as well as experiences for parents as well. For more information please contact: amanda@chochmat.org.
Torat HaLev (Path of the Heart)
This vibrant educational program offers Kindergarten-5th graders an inclusive, creative and heart centered place to learn Hebrew, explore Torah, deepen into holidays, and engage in ritual. Our innovative take on a Hebrew School, the program features experiential elements while also bringing children deeper into Jewish knowledge and wisdom. Infused with Chochmat’s unique approach to Jewish spirituality, this program fosters a nurturing and dynamic environment that encourages student participation and fosters a love for Judaism.
