NY 10th grade trip: April 20th-23rd, 2023. The balance of $1400 is due by March 31, 2023.
Our Mishpachot Emanu-El program for Babies introduces our youngest children (0-16 months) to a preschool environment with their parent(s) by their side. Our weekly meetings will be guided by esteemed early childhood educator, Emma Kelly, who will lead intentional discussions about our children, our hopes, and our concerns, share learning opportunities, and answer any questions you have about your child’s development.
Each session will include nosh, music with renowned Jonathan Bayer, and ample time for children and parents to connect and explore. Our goal is to make lasting connections, build a sense of community and allow the space for our children to explore and play.
Kesher (Connection) will be all about building a sense of connection with fellow parents. Not only are connections foundational to Jewish life as adults, but social connections serve as conduits of healthy development even in infancy. In the earliest weeks and months of life, supportive social connections set the stage for healthy social, emotional, and physical development. We are in this together! Make lasting connections and support your child’s development.
One session per week for 4 weeks (4 sessions total)

This Passover, The Tzedek Council is partnering with Hamilton’s Families Children & Youth Services team to create an authentic and warm Passover experience for 70 babies/toddlers/kids in their transitional housing and shelter program.
On April 15, a small group of congregants will lead an afterschool program where the children will have an opportunity to learn about Passover, taste matzo, haroset, macaroons and other delicious Passover foods and listen to the Passover story. We will also lead arts and craft projects while listening to some traditional Passover songs.
Each of the 70 children in the program will receive an educational packet that includes a build your own seder plate activity, a variety of art supplies and a small gift, either a frog toy, finger puppet or Starbucks gift certificate. We have selected different age appropriate items for kids ranging from baby to teen.
If you would like to sponsor one of these educational/gift packages for Passover, you can make a donation of $15 that will be used to purchase the art supplies and small gift. If you would like to sponsor more than one Hamilton child, please use the guest ticket fields to add increments of $15 to your sponsorship.
With gratitude,
Elyse Salven-Blatt & Guillemette Spiegel on Behalf of the Tzedek Council.
