Family Shabbat 2009-2010

9:30-11:30 on Saturday mornings, once a month

This monthly Saturday morning program is for kids and their parents.  The program includes singing, learning and fun - there are Shabbat songs and prayers, plus activities focused around a different Jewish value each month.

The visionary behind this program is Darci Lewis - she's great with kids, knows a lot about Judaism, and is as creative as they come.  But Darci doesn't work alone - together with Shannon Cruzen and Sarah Adams, experts in early childhood education, we have a power trio that balances fun and creativity with serious Jewish content, in a way that both kids and their parents enjoy.

Cost per household:

  • Single Program $15/partners, $20/non-partners
  • Series (Sept. - May) $60/partners, $120/non-partners
