Join us for a joyful, family-friendly Shabbat in the Park!
We’ll begin with a relaxed arrival time for connection, playground play, and settling in together, before gathering for a Shabbat program with stories, songs, Shabbat-themed activities, and challah and grape juice. Afterward, families are invited to stay for more playground time and a bring-your-own picnic dinner.
Please note that this program is designed to give parents and kids a chance to celebrate Shabbat together (not a drop-off program). Geared for families with children ages 0-10.
All families welcome, including LGBTQ+ and interfaith/intercultural families!
