Family & Children's Tefillah (Prayer)
Young Family Tefillah
Join Rabbi Rose as we celebrate Shabbat together with singing, a story, marching with stuffed Torahs, and other Shabbat-friendly activities. This is geared for kids under 5 and their grownups, but big siblings are welcome, too. We invite you to stick around for kiddush lunch with both indoor and outdoor eating options. Services are free and open to the community. We meet at 11:30 am on the following dates in 2022: 1/29, 2/19, 4/9, 5/21, 6/4, and 8/6.
Kid’s Kehillah
Kids Kehilla is a fun, interactive prayer service for children ages 6 – 11. We'll meet on Shabbat morning (dates: 2/19, 4/9, 5/21 and 6/4 (6/4 gathering will be in the evening as part of Shavuot observance) from 10:45 until 12:00 (or until the main service upstairs is complete). During Kids Kehilla, children sing prayers, play games, have their own Torah service and more. We also have special services throughout the year (including Lego Kids Kehilla, Star Wars Kids Kehilla and Backwards Kids Kehilla!). Please join us for a fun-filled Shabbat morning!
