We are proud to be associated with Michael Douglas and his commitment to Judaism, as well as the Genesis Prize, and Jewish Funders Network, a leading institution that promotes positive change in the Jewish World of the 21st century. We are so\u00a0proud that our program focusing on inclusive B\u2019nei Mitzvah for mixed families was chosen.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\">Each year, over 200 families in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area and beyond, celebrate their children&#8217;s Bar or Bat Mitzvah at the Daniel Centers in an inclusive, egalitarian setting. As a Reform institution, we welcome . families in which the children are Jewish through their mother <em>and\u00a0<\/em>father. That means that children who are Jewish solely through their father have an equal opportunity to celebrate their B&#8217;nei Mitzvah alongside their peers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Why is this so unique?<\/strong> The Daniel Centers for Progressive Judaism is one of few Jewish organizations in Israel that provide such an opening opportunity. We recognize that many of these children grew up in Israel, served in the army, celebrate the holidays, speak Hebrew and in general, identify as Jewish.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\">Very few synagogues and religious centers in Israel provide a welcoming and accepting space for Jews of patrilineal descent and intermarried families. With the largest non-Orthodox conversion school in the country, we welcome students from around the world who seek to join the Jewish faith in a less foreboding and Orthodox environment. Our Bar and Bat Mitzvah program is an integral part of our organization, inviting Jewish children of both patrilineal and matrilineal descent to celebrate this life cycle event. We do not discriminate between these two types of Jewish heritage and provide both types of families the same opportunities and ceremonies. In a country that oftentimes alienates Jewish families through patrilineal descent, we are among the leading organizations that confront this issue and provide a solution: through inclusive life cycle events, our conversion school, our Jewish education programs that interact with local schools in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Zulazu &#8211; our center at Beit Daniel for young families and their infants, and many other avenues of engagement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\">To set a date today for your son or daugher&#8217;s B&#8217;nei Mitzvah, please contact our Life Cycle Events Coordinator at <a href=\"http:\/\/tekes@beit-daniel.org.il\">tekes@beit-daniel.org.il<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\">To receive further information on celebrating life cycle events with us, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beit-daniel.org.il\/en\/religious-services-and-learning\/life-cycle-events\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-right: 60px; text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year\u00a0our Rabbis officiate at\u00a0hundreds of egalitarian bar and bat mitzvot ceremonies for Israeli families and visitors to Israel.
