Bar & Bat Mitzvah Art Projects

Connect to Jewish culture and tradition through art.

Students create a meaningful experience with painting, sculpture, mixed media, or photography.

  • Make art inspired by their bar/bat mitzvah parsha (= Torah portion).

  • Make their own illustrated megillah, hagaddah, or bencher.

  • Other art-related projects.
