Upcoming Events
Rosh Hashanah Celebration for Young Children
Sunday, September 22, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Get ready for Rosh Hashanah! Join Rabbi Stephanie Kennedy and Jen Altman from Jewish Baby Network or a fun morning of music, blessings, Rosh Hashanah songs, shofar blasts, crafts and gift bags. We will also do a special Rosh Hashanah “Tashlich” ritual with a parachute!
Our programs are designed for families with children aged 0-36 months, but bring the whole family! Grandparents and extended family are welcome, too. We always have great snacks, fun art supplies, and play spaces for older siblings, too.
We welcome everyone, including unaffiliated, single and multi-parent, multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-abled, and LGBTQ+ families.
