Junior Congregation & Shabbat Programs
 
 
Shabbat is a vital part of our tradition and we view Junior Congregation as an integral part of our curriculum. These services prepare the students for congregational worship, which is basic to Jewish tradition.  Students are given the opportunity to practice prayer skills that are learned within the classroom .
   
 

Junior Congregation is lead by Mr. Yo who makes the services a fun and learning experience. Children learn the Shabbat and Holiday prayers and songs along with the structure of the service. 

Lower Junior Congregation is designed for children from K'tonton (Kindergarten) through Gimel (fourth grade).  Parents are encouraged to join their children in the School lobby for Juice and Cookies at 10:45 AM followed by Junior Congregation from 11:00 AM - 12:00 noon.

Upper Junior Congregation takes place from 9:30 - 10:30 AM and is designed for children from Delet (5th Grade) through Gesher (7th Grade).  Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend Junior Congregation with their children. The children will have the opportunity to lead parts of the service if they wish.

   
 
Several times throughout the year the morning Shabbat events will be replaced by special events on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
   
 
Classes on Shabbat morning are held in accordance with the laws of Shabbat so that no writing or other prohibited activities are involved.
   
 

A Family Shabbat Service is held on the first Friday night of each month. This service is lead by Rabbi Greenspan and Cantor Gadi Elon. The service is an abbreviated Kabbalot Shabbat services designed for families with young children.  The children have the opportunity to learn how to sing the Friday night Shabbat songs.
