Bar/Bat Mitzvah Scheduling

Bar/Bat Mitzvah dates are scheduled by Cantor Gale, and are based upon availability according to the Temple Beth-El Master Calendar.

• Dates are assigned according to the child’s Hebrew birthday.
• Dates are assigned during a child’s fourth (4th) grade year, unless that child’s birthday falls later than June 30th.
• Students who enter Temple Beth-El Religious School program after fourth grade may be scheduled for a date significantly later than their thirteenth birthday, due to previously scheduled Congregational events.
• Dates may also be unavailable as a result of clergy vacation and holidays.
• Parents may agree to exchange dates – provided that all parties agree and no child’s date is moved prior to his/her thirteenth Hebrew birthday.
