The celebration of Shabbat is a focal point of the kindergarten year. Kindergartners will create their own Shabbat ritual objects and learn the songs and blessings used during home celebrations. Students and parents will be taken through a “mock Shabbat” of blessings and songs, preparing them to participate in Friday night and Havdalah home rituals. The students will be introduced to key Hebrew Shabbat and holiday vocabulary words and the letters with which they begin, through hands-on exploration.
Family sessions are designed to help families incorporate Judaism into their lives. Kindergartners and new students are formally welcomed to the world of Jewish study at the Consecration that takes places during the Simchat Torah Service on October 5th. At this service our Kindergartners will be given a miniature Sefer Torah.
Kindergarten and first grade families are invited to a Shabbat Dinner and service especially for them on October 19th at 6:00. We’ll have dinner in the adult lounge and have an appropriate singing and storytelling service immediately following
