Young Families and Friends
A Kid-Friendly Dinner and Service! Young Families and Friends meets on the third Friday of
the month for dinner and a young family Shabbat Service.
The evening includes a
Young Children’s Service
with songs, stories, and prayers,
followed by a
sitdown, age-appropriate Shabbat dinner,
complete with Shabbat blessings. The
cost for the dinner is $7 for adults and $5 for children.
It’s a casual atmosphere that is perfect for the
family with young children to share a Jewish experience
with their temple community. See their flyer for 2009-2010 dates.

Tot Shabbat
Preschool children and their parents are invited to join Rabbi Michael Pincus for a morning of engaging songs, stories, play time and blessings. Tot Shabbat is on the first Saturday of every month, starting at 10:30 a.m.
Shabbat Services for Youth
We offer a monthly Shabbat evening service where grade-specific students and parents are invited to a Shabbat dinner followed by participation in a Family Shabbat Service.
Every Saturday at 11 a.m., when there is no Bar/Bat Mitzvah, we offer a Teaching Shabbat Service. These services are clergy/student led and give chances for explanation and discussion of the liturgy, as well as Torah and Haftarah study.
Services are also held Wednesdays within the Youth Education Program, led by our clergy and songleaders, and the first Sunday of every month.
Parents are always welcome and encouraged to attend!
