• Kiss and Go: welcoming the Torah in shul with family and friends
• Tefillah Circle (to practice the basics of prayer)
• fun Shabbat activity (including stories and Torah Jeopardy among others!)
• a healthy snack
• socialization and free-play time
• encouragement for positive middot (behavior) and learning
• supervised transfer of your child to the Musaf service Groups
• available for children ages 2-5 and 6-9

Please note that a parent must be in the synagogue at all times during programming.

This special programming is brought to you by your community partners, The Committee for Family Enrichment: Rebbetzin Chanie Deitsch, Terri Zoffer (Gan Israel Preschool teacher), Amy Schuler, Sharon and Jason Cooper and Erica Statman.

Please email Erica at chirolady@aol.com to volunteer in our efforts to make Shabbat fun and meaningful for the children

 

Spiritual Overdose
By Mendel Kalmenson
Reading the Bible, one is struck by the fact that its most monumental event, the transmission of the Ten Commandments, turn up twice. If the event happened once, why tell it twice?

The Second Consolation
By Chana Weisberg
Torah study or prayer? Man or Woman? A transcendent perspective or an emphatic view? Two pathways through life, and two consolations in the future redemption...

Controlling Your Teenager
By Daniel Schonbuch
Parents can find many ways to safely empower teens without allowing them to make dangerous choices. Most of the time the significance of the choices does not matter; even small decisions can make a difference and allow them to feel that they can fulfill their desire for control in a healthy way...

Why Is Israel Unpopular?
By Tzvi Freeman
You write that Israel's popularity has suffered since the First Gulf War in 1991. This is surprising to hear. As far as I can recall, I do not remember any time that Israel was popular, from the time she was granted autonomy to the present day. But then, in all of history, when was it popular to be nice?

Dear G-d, Why Me?
By Anonymous
I stopped crying, took a deep breath and leaned back. "I'm angry G‑d. I'm angry at You. There, I said it." It all came rushing out at once. "I'm angry for these past two years. I'm angry that You weren't there when I needed You the most. I'm angry because I feel like You've forgotten. I'm angry because sometimes it seems like You just don't care and I'm stumbling through this alone. I'm angry because I want to know: what did I do to deserve this?

Blessings on Combinations
Whether eating a snack or a complete meal without bread, there are special laws that apply to how the blessings are said on more than one food type.
