| Junior Congregation, Tot Shabbat and Services |
SERVICES
Evening services are a regular part of the curriculum and all students will
be required to attend at the end of class on Sunday, Monday and
Wednesday. The Rabbi asks that parents join their children rather than
sit in their cars in the parking lot for the following reasons:
4) The students behave better when sitting with adults.
3) It gives the children a sense that service attendance is not just a
“kid’s thing” but a mitzvah or obligation that lasts throughout their lives.
2) Weekly announcements are frequently made at the end of
services.
1) And the Number One reason for attending services with your child
is - you just might learn something new.
TOT SHABBAT
Tot Shabbat is an abbreviated Shabbat program designed for families
with small children second grade and younger. It is a wonderful way to
experience the beauty of Shabbat at an earlier hour starting at 6:15 and
ending at 7:30. The program includes: an abbreviated Kabbalat Shabbat
Service conducted by the Rabbi followed by a mini Oneg. Tot Shabbat will
be offered four times during the year (refer to monthly calendar). Emails
will be sent home several weeks prior to each Tot Shabbat.
JUNIOR CONGREGATION
Shabbat morning service in a more user friendly format; services will be
slow paced, the rabbi and students may provide a bit of commentary,
students can participate at their own level without having to face an
intimidating congregation of adults. The rabbi will also review the
“choreography” of the service – where to sit, stand and bow – again at a
pace that will make the learning easier. Last year, unfortunately,
attendance at Junior Congregation was very poor; it is the rabbi’s hope
that by chaning the time of the service, more students will take
advantage of this wonderful learning opportunity.
JUNIOR CONGREGATION KIDDUSH SPONSORSHIP
Junior Congregation is an integral part of the Hebrew School curriculum
and a wonderful opportunity for families to attend services with their
children. The Jr. Congregation/Oneg fee is no longer a separate fee, but
is included in the annual Registration and Programming Fee. Parents will
be contacted via email to help with shopping, set up and Kiddush
preparation. Kiddush will follow Junior Congregation in the social hall.
