Shalom Shabbat

Led by our dedicated youth coordinators and our MITS, children participate in a variety of fun and engaging activities. These activities are designed to foster friendships and strengthen community bonds. After the activities, everyone comes together to enjoy a shared Shabbat dinner. It’s a wonderful opportunity for kids to connect and celebrate Shabbat together.

Chag Together
Before each holiday, grades K through 5 and their families come together to unite in celebration and tradition. These gatherings provide a wonderful opportunity for families to learn about each holiday together with their young ones. Through engaging activities and shared experiences, families can deepen their understanding and appreciation of Jewish traditions. These events foster a sense of community and connection among participants. It’s a special time for families to bond and create lasting memories.
