Jewish Heroines Through the Ages:
Ma'ayan Presents The MaTaN Bat Mitzvah Program*

Ma'ayan is proud to present the MaTaN Bat Mitzvah program. The Mother-Daughter Bat Mitzvah program transforms girls' perspective of becoming a Bat Mitzvah and entering Jewish womanhood by exploring a variety of role-models, offering young women not one but many paradigms of the "ideal" Jewish woman. The Mother-Daughter Bat Mitzvah Program allows young women and their mothers to navigate this life-passage together and encourages the Bat Mitzvah girl to build an adult identity rooted in Jewish sources. 

Details:

• Ten two-hour sessions delving into the lives of Jewish heroines, from the matriarchs to modern-day leaders, for Bat Mitzvah-aged girls (11-13) and their mothers.
  
  
• A fun-filled, hands-on meaningful way for mothers and daughters to prepare for a young woman's entry into Jewish adulthood.
  
  
• Each session includes text study and an artistic component, engaging mother and daughter experientially through drama, art, and music.
  
  
• Limited enrollment ensures a comfortable environment for study, exploration, and friendship and guarantees that each mother-daughter pair receives personal attention.
  
  
• Tuition, including all materials, is $300 for each mother-daughter pair. Need-based scholarships available.
