Shabbat Tinker-Gan
Shabbat Tinker-Gan is a welcoming and celebratory program for families with toddlers and preschoolers (ages one to five). Joining together on a monthly basis, Shabbat Tinker-Gan families enjoy singing, crafts, stories and engagement centered around Shabbat and community. This one-and-a-half hour program aims to set strong foundations for friendship, ritual and joy!

Non-Partner Pricing: $284 for the series or $65 per individual session.

Rachel Nagorsky
Rachel found her way to Kavana when her son started at the Gan in 2016. She has worn many hats at Kavana, helping in the office, leading family hikes and now as the inaugural Shabbat Tinker Gan educator. She is excited to share her love for Jewish early childhood education with the Tinker-Gan community. When she’s not leading Tinker-Gan, you can find Rachel geeking our on birds and tress of the PNW or cooking up a storm in her kitchen.
Anaelle Oiknine
Anaelle is thrilled to be back for her 6th year at Kavana. She recently graduated from the University of Washington majoring in Human Evolutionary Biology and Molecular Biology while minoring in Jewish studies and Chemistry. She's now back in Washington to apply to medical schools. In her free time, you can find her with her adorable puppy, on long walks, or cozy with some crafts. She's passionate about instilling much enthusiasm around Judaics and Hebrew and can't wait for another fun year with the best kiddos!
