Youth at Benei Avraham
Two ways for young people to grow in Torah and follow Yeshua: a weekly teen and family Bible study, and training for Bar and Bat Mitzvah.
What does Benei Avraham offer for young people?
Quick answer: Teens and their families can join The Narrow Path, a weekly study of Yeshua’s teachings with the Torah portion, on Sundays in Arlington and on Zoom. Boys and girls getting ready for Bar or Bat Mitzvah can use our free B’nei Mitzvah self-study lessons and book private guidance and Torah portion coaching on Zoom.

Questions from parents
Which program is right for my child?
If your teen wants a weekly Bible study with other teens and families, choose The Narrow Path. If your child is about 11 or older and getting ready for Bar or Bat Mitzvah, choose B’nei Mitzvah training. Many young people do both.
Can my child do both programs?
Yes. They work well together: The Narrow Path builds a habit of studying Yeshua’s teachings with the Torah portion, and B’nei Mitzvah training prepares your child to read from the Torah and take on the mitzvot.
Can we take part on Zoom?
Yes. The Narrow Path meets in Arlington with a Zoom option every week. The B’nei Mitzvah lessons are online, and guidance and Torah portion coaching are on Zoom.
Do we need to be members of Benei Avraham?
No. Both programs are open to any family. Text us at (469) 608-9944 with any questions.
