B’nei Mitzvah Date Request
Mazal tov! Your family has taken the first step in planning a momentous occasion. However you choose to commemorate this joyous milestone, we congratulate your entire family. Scheck Hillel’s faculty and administration look forward to partnering with you for this simcha.
Parents are encouraged to review the calendar below to enter their children’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah dates and/or to review the entire calendar of dates entered by other parents well in advance. Scheck Hillel does its best to ensure that children’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations do not conflict with those of other students in the same grade or with school-sponsored events.
After you submit a reservation request and after we have verified that no conflicts exist, your date will be published for all Scheck Hillel parents to view. The Director of Middle School will contact you upon notification of your date.
As one of the world’s largest Jewish community schools, Scheck Hillel is committed to creating a nurturing, diverse environment for all students. To ensure all invited guests are comfortable, we ask that parents:
-
never schedule parties on Shabbat or Jewish holidays
-
always serve kosher food
-
commit to inclusion
When planning a party, please consider all students and avoid the possibility of hurt feelings. To this end, we encourage you to invite your child’s entire class or grade or all of the children of the same gender in the class or grade. In the spirit of respect, we request that invitations to personal parties not be distributed at school. For your convenience, families’ contact information can be found in the web directory in the parent section of eHillel.org.
To allow for the participation of an entire class and to ensure the most minor interruption of the school day, Scheck Hillel invites and encourages families to host a tefillin service on campus for family and friends.
For information about scheduling and catering, please contact the Operations Office at 305.931.2831 x836 / events@eHillel.org.
*Note: Reservations will only be posted if parents commit to strict kosher, Shabbat, and inclusivity.
