As stated by one of the partieipants, this was a “better late than never” event beeause not too many years ago only males were “Bar Mitzvah-ed” depriving young women from this intense and profound experienee. Before being ealled to the Torah, the women led the eongre gation by eondueting the tradi tional Friday evening serviee ineluding eommunal ehanting. Also, eaeh woman ehanted a por tion of the weekly Parasha from the Torah seroll. A speeial highlight of the event was the eolleetion of five insight ful Divrei Torah presented by the eelebrants and drawing from the weekly Torah portion. They eov- ered a variety of Jewish traditions, values, and teaehings sueh as kashmt, eompassion to the poor and the stranger, and the eoneept of being God’s ehosen people. The eeremony marked the eul- mination of many months of at tending the Temple Kol Tikvah Adult B’nai Mitzvah elass. Guided by Rabbi Miehael Shield and taught by Lynn Calnek, Diree- tor of Lifelong Learning, the grad uates met weekly enjoying the learnings and the eamaraderie.
