Learning One-on-One
Youth Be Mitzvah 1:1 Learning
With 1:1 learning, build a relationship with a mentor and develop a fully customized focus of study. Students design their own Shabbat service after taking a deep dive into how they connect with Judaism in a meaningful way! We are offering Open Houses for you to learn more. Please click on the “Learn More at an Open House” button below for additional information.
Our 1:1 program offers a personalized Be Mitzvah preparation path, building a strong one-on-one relationship between the student and their mentor. It’s an ideal option for various situations, such as:
- Older teen students of all ages
- Students who prefer individual instruction
- Students residing outside of the Denver metro area
- Students with a shorter timeframe for learning
- Students with specific learning needs that would thrive with customized instruction
Students design their own custom siddur (prayer book) after taking a deep dive into the prayers and themes within a Shabbat service. Sharing Torah (Jewish wisdom stories) is a key part of each students’ journey, whether it is inspired by biblical texts or lessons from personal growth. We cherish and value every student’s teachings equally. Students also select a focus track, whether it’s diving into exploring a text from the Torah, a 7 Challenges Jewish wisdom project, doing a research project, or a hybrid of some of these ideas.
Those interested in learning to chant from the Torah in Hebrew can work with a tutor at an additional cost, outside of class time. Judaism Your Way can provide a list of tutors for those seeking this skill.
