Children’s Learning

Our children’s program consists of creative Jewish Antizionst learning through play, crafts, song, and stories. Some of these programs will be for families to attend together; some will be just for children, with separate family services and programs at the same time. 

Our children’s programs will start with a focus on children ages 3 to 10 with options for older children and b’nai mitzvah training available upon request. We plan on expanding the ages of children we include in future years. 

Intro to Judaism

Are you interested in learning about Judaism? The traditions and history- the texts and the community- the holidays and observances? No matter what’s bringing you to this course, whether you are considering becoming Jewish or grew up in a Jewish family but didn’t learn much or just because you’re interested in Judaism, this is a class for you!
