Adolescence can be a difficult stage of life for many families, even more so now. To help address the often-challenging transition from childhood to the teen years, made even more stressful by the pandemic, Moving Traditions has recently released Family Education @ B-Mitzvah, which calls on the Jewish community to embrace a new framework for family education at adolescence. The approach suggests that by integrating Jewish wisdom with social-emotional learning, the Jewish community can provide support and a sense of belonging—which are needed more now than ever, as more preteens struggle with mental health and social isolation.

The publication shares key findings from implementing the Moving Traditions B-Mitzvah Family Education Program in partnership with 110 organizational partners, and includes a call to action informed by Moving Traditions’ June 10, 2021 convening of 50 leading scholars, Jewish educators, activists, and funders.

I am/we are joining the call. To strengthen Jewish families and Jewish life, family education in the preteen years needs to become as normalized as family education for preschoolers. I invite you to join me: read more or contact Moving Traditions to learn how to bring the program to your community.
