The Bar-Mitzvah is not only a party; more importantly it’s a time of growth. When a boy turns thirteen he assumes all the obligations of a Jewish adult. He may not be allowed to drive a car, but by Jewish standards he is a man nonetheless. Judaism views the entry into adulthood as a period in which a child learns the meaning of responsibility: recognizing and maximizing your potential.

The Bar-Mitzvah is a time to learn about the meaning and relevance of Torah and Mitzvot in our daily lives. More importantly it’s a time to bring this meaning into practice, by committing oneself to G-d his Torah and his people.

Our Bar-Mitzvah program, led by Josh Victor and Michael Glass, prepares the boys for this all important day by studying the significance of what it means to be a Jewish adult. 

A Bar Mitzvah at Great Park is a meaningful time of growth. After the Shul services, family and friends join together at the Kiddush offering good wishes to the Bar Mitzvah boy and sharing words of inspiration in a warm and beautiful atmosphere.


The Rabbi welcomes you to discuss your Bar Mitzvah and its relevance and importance.
