  • 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
