Bat Mitzvah Club

Goals:

The goal of the Bat Mitzvah Club is to unite 11-13-year-old girls from across Western Wake
County to discover what it means to become a Bat Mitzvah through crafts, scrapbooking,
music, discussions, and more.
We aim to give our girls a space to make close, safe, and meaningful connections with Jewish
peers. We aim to empower girls to own their Judaism and make it a part of their lives through
learning and positive Jewish experiences.
