Minyonaires
The Minyonaires program was started in 1970 by then-president of the congregation Herman Frigand. The group is led by the Rabbi, Cantor and other members of our Ritual Committee. Of note, Minyonaires is a recipient of a Gold National Solomon Schechter Award for Youth.
The Minyonaires is a group of post Bar/Bat Mitzvah students who lead Saturday morning services in the main sanctuary of the congregation. The students lead the service, read Torah, Haftarah, and deliver the D’Var Torah (interpretation of the Torah reading).
This special program was started 40 years ago with a vision to keep young people involved in the religious life of the community and to interact and see each other on a regular basis long after their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. They make important friendships which continue into their future.
