Young Families
Families with children of all ages find a home at B’nai Shalom. We celebrate and cherish each child's growth and development from baby naming to Bat and Bar Mitzvah, volunteering, and the adventures of going off to Jewish camp and Israel travel. Individual attention in Religious School, free High Holiday services for children of all ages, and joyous holiday celebrations provide pathways to Jewish life for children and their families.
Introducing our youngest learners to Judaism through play, music, and movement is an important step in their development. We provide opportunities to explore Jewish themes and holidays in a warm, friendly environment. The littles and their parents share the experience with each other and with new friends alike.
Tefillah Tot Shabbat
Children and their parents are invited to get excited about Shabbat! Geared to families with children aged five and younger, our Tot Shabbat program is a chance for your family to engage in a fun, warm, and accessible Shabbat experience. Held monthly on Saturday mornings at 11am, and led by Rabbi Tobin and Morah Amy, this program moves from age-appropriate song and prayer, to marching with play Torahs and story-time, all capped off with a special kiddush snack. This is a great way for young families to meet and make new friends, while being a part of the Jewish community. Come join us - all are welcome!
