Family Programs
Our family programming will engage you to care, connect, learn, pray, celebrate, and give & get.
Our Babies, Blessings and Shabbat Fun class
We invite you to explore year-round opportunities for your family to connect and feel engaged.
Our monthly Family Friday Night Experience and Dinner, made very affordable through the generous support of the Gertner family, gives intergenerational families a memorable Kabbalat Shabbat service and delicious, catered, kid-friendly Shabbat dinner. Reviews are in—it is an experience to cherish! Around 300 people regularly attend these dinners and they sell out very quickly.
Join us on Fridays for Babies, Blessings, and Shabbat Fun, as we welcome Shabbat with a 45-minute class featuring Shabbat songs and blessings, challah and lots of fun. We are pleased to partner with L’Dance Classes for this special weekly experience for children up to 18 months old, accompanied by an adult caregiver.
Our Short & Sweet Multigenerational Shabbat Morning Services offer a lively service, engaging the participation of children, teens and families in attendance, with learning and discussion opportunities for adults. Followed by a community dairy luncheon.
Whether you’re caring for your very first baby or adding another little one to a growing family, Monday’s Ma’a’gal is a place to connect with other parents.
Every year, we host a Purim Carnival. Kids of all ages will enjoy carnival booths, bouncy castles, a toddlers’ play-zone, and more.
Holidays and Festivals - Family Style
Opportunities for families to celebrate together are offered for every holiday. On the High Holy Days, we offer a range of services that allow parents and children to worship and engage together.
Generations Membership - Free Under 40
And, amazingly, all of this is free for under-40 members through our Generations Membership and flexible for parents of all ages.
