Beth El offers gatherings for kids and families full of spirit, story, and song. We see our shared liturgy and prayer practice as beautiful tools for spiritual flourishing, enabling connection both within and between families, as well as to our history, global Jewish family, innermost spark, and that which is greater than ourselves.
Please check our calendar for upcoming programs.
Tot Shabbat
5:30 pm * Second Friday of the month
We’ve added on to our already warm and wonderful community musical Friday night gathering Eat, Schmooze, Pray with a special service perfect for kiddos 0-5 and their families. Join us for songs, stories, and snuggles for Shabbat, followed by kid-friendly food. Come as you are- all are welcome!
Family Shabbat Gatherings
This year, we’re excited to try something new: family Shabbat gatherings for all ages of kids and their adults. Spirited and musical t’fillah, learning, and an oneg (festive food) to help us celebrate Shabbat, explore upcoming holidays, and grow as a community.
January 28- Shira (Song) Shabbat
March 25- Spring Shabbat
April 29- Shabbat Shabbat
Holidays
We offer Tot Shabbat and family services on the High Holidays, as well as all-ages family programs at Simchat Torah and Purim.
Make sure you’re getting emails from us (contact eliana@elianalight.com to be added to our list) to hear about all prayer gatherings for kids and families, and check the calendar for upcoming events!
**We encourage, but do not require, all families to attend Shabbat Services as often as possible. A great rule of thumb is to attend services as many times a year as years your child is old. For example, if you have a 6-year-old, aim to attend Shabbat services 6 times during the calendar year (not including High Holidays).
For more information about youth programming, contact Alexandra Bicks.
