Rabbi Barbara Aiello
Bat Mitzvah Camila Sobral is called to the Torah in July,
2005 as the first ever Progressive Bat (or Bar) Mitzvah
in Rome. Camila is pictured here (below) with her tutor,
Lay Leader of Lev Chadash Roma, Eleonora Souvlis.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Preparation
Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation can be an
inspiring and enjoyable process when the
ceremony itself is held in Italy. Especially
designed for interfaith families, Italian
American and Jewish American familes, or for
children with special learning needs, this
unique program allows the student to study at
home and then join Rabbi Barbara Aiello in
Italy for the actual ceremony.

Jaclyn's ceremony in South Florida
after having worked with her as a
distance learning student
Course work includes a hands-on mitzvah
project where the student shares in a Tikkun
Olam experience to help make the world a
better place. Torah reading in Hebrew is
geared to the student's interest and skill level
and this friendly approach to Torah
guarantees a spiritual experience of a life time.
Interfaith families share bimah honors and the
southern Italian venue can accommodate large
family groups for both a festive kiddush meal
and overnight accommodations. Interested?

It's never too late for
bat mitzvah!
A Distance Learning Program
with Rabbi Barbara Aiello
Our students work with the local tutor of your
choice. The first step is Hebrew language
preparation as your son or daughter learns to
read the basics. Rabbi Barbara communicates
directly with your tutor so that Hebrew reading
is adapted to the students’ needs and abilities.
The amount of Hebrew to be read and the way
it is read is based upon the individual needs of
the student. Every student, regardless of
learning style, difference or disability, can
succeed.
