Youth Services

10:45am: Torah for Tots ~ Early Childhood – Kindergarten, Youth Lounge
Together children and parents celebrate Shabbat! We march around with the Torah, use our imaginations and look out into the desert to see the Jewish people and even make some yummy chicken soup. We hope you can join us for this fun and exciting experience!

10:45am: Youth Services ~ 1st – 6th Grade, Library
Who are some of the people that make our world a better place and why do they do it? After our Shabbat prayers, we will explore Tisha B’Av, and why our best response to this sad day is doing Tikkun Olam! How can you get involved? Come and find out! We will also create our own poetic lamentations to express our feelings about the darkness in our world and how we can help to make it disappear by doing acts of kindness.
