For Young Families
For Young Families
The foundation of a child's Jewish identity begins in early childhood. Congregations of Shaare Shamayim has developed creative programs for families with young children to start a lifelong relationship with Judaism. We offer a range of fun learning and worship opportunities for all ages.
We encourage our youth to participate in our regular Friday evening and Saturday morning services as this helps children to feel welcome and part of the larger synagogue community.
All children are welcome in our adult services. However, we also offer services specifically for children of all ages. These include:
Tot Shabbat
Our Tot Shabbat is a delightfully interactive Shabbat experience each month. We welcome Shabbat or celebrate Havdalah or other holidays with singing, dancing, and different activities each month to engage the whole family. Click here for more information or to RSVP.
NEW! Sing-A-Long Shabbat
Our new Sing-A-Long Shabbat is a service specifically for 2 to 5 year olds and their parents on Saturday mornings. Designed to engage our preschool age children in learning about the Shabbat service and Shabbat songs, we do more than sing. Please see the Calendar for our next Sing-A-Long Shabbat event.
Junior Congregation
Our Junior Congregation is a welcoming and engaging family service for all ages. Students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions about Shabbat, prayer, and the weekly Torah reading, and help lead the service. Click here for more information.
