Life long Jewish Learning ...for Young Children
Click here to view the upcoming youth calendar.
Mishpachah Monthly
Mishpachah Monthly is a special intergenerational celebration of learning. Each month’s experiential learning event has a different theme tied to holidays, Jewish values, or life cycle. If your children are not enrolled in Religious School, certain fees apply for participation in this program. Check the calendar and make plans to join us!
Hebrew School
For grades 3 through 7, Beth Sholom Hebrew instruction is done through one on one (or two on one, if your child prefers learning with a special friend) with excellent, experienced teachers. Our instructors work with your child’s learning style and abilities. Instruction is on Thursdays, but we do our best to accommodate your family’s busy extracurricular commitments.
Babysitting
Each week, we have an experienced early childcare-giver available to watch children under the age of five in the Youth Lounge. Parents are always welcome to bring their children into the main sanctuary with them.
Every week’s service in the main sanctuary concludes with an invitation to all the kids to lead Adon Olam, experience hand-washing and get first dibs on the yummy challah.
But the Shabbat family experience doesn't stop there! Every week at Beth Sholom there is a delicious luncheon, during which our whole congregational community comes together to socialize. When the children are done eating, there’s an assortment of large motor and vestibular Shabbat-friendly play items available so they can play together while the grown-ups get more adult time at the table.
