Each week members of the Temple Aliyah Youth community have opportunities to celebrate Shabbat with their peers, with their families and with the Temple Aliyah Community. Throughout the year there are 5 different Youth Shabbat opportunities to choose from!
Sha-La-Lom Shabbat for Temple Tots (kids 0-5 years old and their families)
At the end of a busy week, say “Shalom” to Shabbat, reconnect with your family, and make new friends. Sing, groove, shake and relax with the Temple Tots and Gan Aliyah Preschool communities! Our program includes singing, musical instruments, props and puppets, and a short tot-friendly service to welcome Shabbat for children up to age 5. Our Sha-La-Lom Shabbat services are followed by a familyfriendly dinner hosted at the Temple. All services begin at 5:30 pm.
Friday Nights:
Shabbat Yeladim for Temple Tots (kids 0-5 years old and their families)
Saturday morning services are musical, full of movement and fun for our youngest friends! With singing, marching, silliness and stories, our Shabbat Yeladim services are held on Saturdays during the school year, starting at 10:30 am. Our services finish in time to join the rest of the community in the main sanctuary, and for our delicious Congregational Kiddush. Drop in to join us any time!
