Programs for Families with Children of Any Ages
We are pleased to offer these groups that create smaller, more intimate communities within the larger Temple.
Participants in these "micro-communities" will build ongoing relationships and stronger bonds with the synagogue by celebrating Shabbat, holidays, life cycle events and Jewish service learning opportunities, beginning with preschool families, and continuing through 8th grade.
We look forward to new relationships developing within our synagogue community, and invite you to be a part of these exciting new programs. If interested, please email Terry Kraus, and PLEASE include the subject line "havurah".
