Can students enroll in the JYEP after 3rd grade?

Will my child be prepared for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah?
While the Bar and Bat Mitzvah is not the focus of the JYEP, we realize it is the impetus for many of our children’s enrollment. The Bar and Bat Mitzvah is supervised by our staff Rabbi and it is he who officiates at the ceremony.
