Shabbat Morning for All Ages

Shabbat is a time for children of all ages! Junior programming occurs every Saturday morning for pre-B’nei Mitzvah children in our congregation. Each program encourages the children to participate in a Shabbat experience filled with song, prayer and stories – the perfect way to celebrate Shabbat.
Every experience is tailored to meet the needs of each group and is supervised by our extraordinary clergy, teachers and musicians:

• Sing Along Shabbat
  For children ages 0–7
  Come for songs and stories as we celebrate Shabbat together!
  (9:30 am – 10:00 am)
• Shabbat B’Yachad (”Shabbat Together”)
  For children ages 0-7
  Lively prayer, Torah reading, fun activities, and a light lunch!
  (9:30 am – 10:30 am)
• Junior Congregation
  For children ages 8–12
  Where our youth become leaders – sing, celebrate, and even learn to chant from the Torah!
  (10:30 am – 12:00 pm)

These services alternate on Saturday mornings and occur only when school is in session.  Please check the Synagogue calendar for specific dates.

The Young Families Group

Hosting Shabbat family experiences, Jewish holiday craft activities, and children’s concerts, this group is geared specifically to families with very small children, ages 5 and under. This is a great way to meet other families with small children and to start to familiarize your children with the synagogue!
