BRIT AND NAMING CELEBRATIONS
Netivot Shalom is a wonderful place to celebrate your child’s birth or adoption and entry into the Jewish community! Our beautiful shul and community can help create the spirituality of the moment, and Rabbi Levy is proud to help you plan your family’s ceremony. Please be in touch with our office and with Rabbi Levy to begin the conversation!
B’NeI MITZVAH
Amitim, meaning friends and fellowship, is Netivot Shalom’s B’nei Mitzvah program. Amitim provides a community where students and families share a special learning and growing experience together. This program helps to provide a foundation of Hebrew and synagogue skills, as well as engaging students in social action and Tikkun Olam.
MARRIAGE
Congregation Netivot Shalom is a wonderful place to celebrate your Commitment Ceremony or Wedding. A Jewish wedding is a moment of deep connecting, and of contagious joy. Please be in touch with our office and with Rabbi Levy to begin the conversation!
CONVERTING TO JUDAISM
Congregation Netivot Shalom welcomes those curious about Judaism to explore our community, and to feel embraced as they make their journey towards becoming a Jew. Conversion to Judaism requires serious study, active participation in Jewish holiday and lifecycle events, and, finally, a ritual moment of acceptance and affirmation.
