High Holiday Youth & Teen Program Schedules

Dear WJC Families,

We are looking forward to celebrating the High Holidays with your family. In order to ensure the most enriching program for your child in the most safe and secure environment, we ask that you keep the following schedules, information and protocols in mind.

Please note the following times for youth programs: Rosh Hashanah (Days 1 and 2), 10:45 – 12:15 pm; Yom Kippur, 11:00 – 12:30 pm

• We recommend that all children bring an individual water bottle.
• Children that are in the 2’s, 3’s and 4’s will receive a name tag upon arrival to their program.
• For the safety and security of our children, we ask that children in 3rd grade and younger be accompanied to their service by a grown-up and be picked up by a grown-up at the conclusion of the program. Children in 4th grade and above will be permitted to leave the room at the conclusion of our program.
• Snacks provided by the WJC Parents’ Association will be given to children ages 2 through 7th grade on Rosh Hashanah and all children ages 2 through 3rd grade on Yom Kippur. We will also be providing a “snack room” on Yom Kippur for older children who may be hungry during youth services.
• On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, children ages 2 – 4 years old will have a Torah for Tots service led by Tkiya. To make sure your child does not miss the service, please make sure to arrive at your classroom on time.
• The playground area will not be open for children to play.
• For the safety of our children, once in a service, students will remain with their group until the completion of our program, unless they are dismissed early to an adult.

Please remember that these protocols exist to ensure the safety of all our children and to assist us in providing the best experience for all our children.
