In this workshop, participants create a decorated personal book inspired by Hebrew book culture.

The book will cover four main topics expressing the transition from childhood to adulthood:

B. The Torah portion for my birthdate — personal meaning and connection points for the future.
C. A female figure from the sources who inspires me and whose qualities I want to carry forward.
D. A personal speech/sermon written for the ceremony or celebration.
