JRC welcomes you to engage your Adult Jewish identity with our 2023-2024 Adult Brit Mitzvah Cohort. This 10-month program culminates in a special Brit Mitzvah ritual on November 23, 2024.

JRC's Adult Brit Mitzvah program is unlike any other, combining group study, Hevruta/partner learning, Torah Trope, Spiritual Autobiography, and topics such as Liturgy and Prayer, God and Theology, Reconstructionism, Bodies, Eating and Daily Living, Shabbat, Halacha and Traditions, Tikkun Olam, Gender and Identities, the Jewish Library, and Jewish History.

Please fill out the form below to register for this Cohort. Both JRC members and non-members are welcome! We welcome non-members to join our Adult Brit Mitzvah cohort for the first 4 class sessions before making a commitment. If you choose to continue, we ask that you become a member of JRC at that time.

If you need an accommodation to fully participate please contact JRC Executive Director, Micky Baer at mbaer@jrctogether.org or on her cell: 847-409-1432.
