Mishpachot (Families): Programs for Families and Children

As my family planted for me, so do I for my children.

Talmud, Taanit 23A

Families are the roots of Emanu-El!  We know that these first few years of your child’s life are such an essential time to find your kehillah (community) and believe that we are always stronger together.  Our goal is to cultivate environments for families to meet, nosh and pray, so that you can find lasting connections with one another.  Our hope is that you will find other families to enjoy Shabbat dinners with, celebrate lifecycle events, have meaningful conversations with and to build a sense of community that will help shape who your children become!   

Please take a look below at several opportunities to find your people. 

You can reach out to Sarah Balagey for more information!


Emanu-El Baby Groups are BACK!

Mishpachot at Emanu-El

Baby Group (0-16 months)

Mondays 10:00-11:30

Toddler Group (16-36 months)

Wednesdays 10:00-11:30

Our programming meets the four main developmental domains on infant development as highlighted in California Infant/Toddler Learning & Development Foundations (2009)

  • Social-Emotional Development Domain
  • Language Development Domain
  • Cognitive Development Domain
  • Perceptual and Motor Development Domain

We offer sessions for babies (0-16 months) and toddlers (16-36 months). 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 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 play. The goal in these programs is to support community building and a strong parent support system, therefore we ask that each child is accompanied by their parent(s).

SERIES 1: Kesher Connection

Babies (0-16 months) March 13 through April 3. Register here.

Toddlers (16-36 months) March 15 through April 5. Register here.

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.

Cost: 

Member Children $100 for four sessions

Non-Member Children $144 for four sessions.

Drop In (space permitting)
