These hapless pre-teens struggle with cracking voices and unfamiliar melodies, fight with their parents about time spent practicing, and eventually face a couple hundred of their closest friends and relatives to sing for a couple hours in a foreign language. The current model of B'nei Mitzvah training does not resonate with most 13-year-old kids. They do it because they know they have to do it. Their parents and grandparents went through the same thing. \u003cbr\u003eIt's time to re-evaluate how our kids learn and prepare to be knowledgeable and engaged members of the Jewish community. \u003ci\u003eRaising the Bar Mitzvah\u003c\/i\u003e is the book that will lead Jewish professionals as well as lay congregants on a more productive and meaningful path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCantor Matt Axelrod is the author of \u003ci\u003eSurviving Your Bar\/Bat Mitzvah: The Ultimate Insider's Guide\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYour Guide to the Jewish Holidays: From Shofar to Seder. \u003c\/i\u003eCantor Axelrod serves as a national officer of the Cantors Assembly and has been a frequent presenter at synagogues, Jewish community centers, and conferences to speak to groups of parents and teens about the process of preparing for their B'nei Mitzvah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529310597171,"sku":"9781538133095","price":149.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/dEEusVCzJl9781538133095.webp?v=1783929227","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/raising-the-bar-mitzvah-reimagining-what-our-kids-learn-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
