L'Shana Tova Tikatevu!
REGISTRATION & Program Offerings | Full Schedule | Program Descriptions
We are blessed to have so many families in our community. Children, like adults, can feel drawn toward different modalities of prayer and programming. We have a variety of options to enable our children and their grown-ups to engage in meaningful, communal experiences over the holidays. Please read below for more information on High Holy Day opportunities this year. Questions? Please contact Annalee Thompson, Youth Engagement Coordinator.
