**While attendance at Shabbat Services is not mandatory, we highly encourage families to join us as frequently as possible. A simple guideline: aim to attend services as many times a year as your child’s age. For instance, if you have a 6-year-old, consider attending Shabbat services 6 times within the calendar year (excluding High Holidays).
