Groups

Parent & Me (Children 0-2 years old)

Doors open at 9:30 AM for this 0-3ish parent-and-me room. Trucks, books, animals, blocks and a bunch of other toys keep everyone busy (and give the parents some time to schmooze) until the curtain goes up for Modeh Ani at 10:30 AM.  A youth leader takes us through all the greatest hits (“Dinosaur Knocking At My Door,” “On My Way to Shul,” and even age appropriate davening with singing and dancing), until we join the other groups and head upstairs to lead the entire shul in Adon Olam. In the summer months, we enjoy some fun outside in the sun!
