Welcome to the b’nei mitzvah experience at North Shore Congregation Israel. Our downloadable B’nei Mitzvah Handbook has all the essential information you need to plan and prepare for this wonderful Jewish milestone (you can also access all the handbook information at the links to the right). At NSCI, we strive to be inclusive of people of all abilities and identities, meeting you where you are, and crafting an experience that will be meaningful and memorable for you and your family.

The entire staff at the synagogue was incredible in their dedication to making sure that Sam was prepared and excited about his big day. Sam's service was tailored to fit his abilities and to include different traditions passed down within each of our families.
