Review for Judaism Your Way, Denver, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

We have belonged to a large Temple in Denver for more than 25 years and our son celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the Temple; our daughter wanted a different and more meaningful Bat Mitzvah for herself. She didn't want to fulfill requirements but wanted a meaningful, individualized experience for herself. We had heard of Judaism Your Way from some friends and when our daughter met Rabbi Field she knew that he was just the person to help her. Rabbi Field (I make no distinction between Judaism Your Way and Rabbi Field as I view them as one and the same--when referring to the Rabbi, I am including Judaism Your Way)did all of the expected needs for my daughter's preparation, e.g. teaching and bringing her Hebrew to an excellent level, choosing her Torah and Haftorah and working with her, etc. However, what my daughter really wanted and what the Rabbi delivered was the reason and relevance of the importance of a Bat Mitzvah. The result of her Bat Mitzvah experience with Judaism Your Way is she has continued to be involved in Jewish life at the JCC and the Temple and making an effort to maintain her Jewish identity. I attribute much of her feelings concerning Judaism to be a result of her Bat Mitzvah experience and Judaism Your Way.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

substantially increase participation of unaffiliated Jews
