MUSIC WITH SHIRA: Outrageously hip Jewish kiddie rocker Shira Kline returns to Temple Emanu-El for her sixth year of music education and singing fun. Shira transforms her love of Judaism into her work by bringing a dynamic, fully participatory program of joy and spirit, as well as story and song, not to mention all out rock-star dancing and grooving!

TOT SHABBAT: Celebrate the Sabbath in a kiddie-friendly environment with services geared specifically for our youngest Temple members! Developed for families with children through early school age, our Tot Shabbat features a brief “singing” service with a story. After services, we gather for a traditional Sabbath dinner and an art project.

STORYTIME IN THE LIBRARY: Led by Temple Emanu-El librarian Elizabeth Stabler, Storytime makes use of our wonderful collection of children’s books to introduce youngsters (from 2½ years old) to the Jewish holidays and various aspects of Jewish culture.

DOTING DADS:
A new group formed within
Young Families, Doting Dads
organizes after-dinner
activities for children at our
Tot Shabbats, as well as other
special events for fathers and kids.

CHALLAH PROGRAM:

Nursery School, challot are distributed
