Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are drawing near and planning is underway for special programs and age-appropriate religious observances for younger children while their parents are at the main service in the sanctuary. We will be providing programming for pre-schoolers (ages 3 and 4) and students in grades kindergarten through 6. Inasmuch as we are unable to offer appropriate babysitting services, we are also opening up the double classroom (room #2) in the school wing for parents of infants and toddlers as a place for them to sit with their children if their little ones become restless in the main service. Students will be there to assist.

THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL PROGRAM IN THE TRIPLE CLASSROOM FOR CHILDREN AGES 3 through 6 AND THEIR PARENTS FROM 10:15 AM UNTIL 11:00 AM ON THE FIRST DAY OF ROSH HASHANNAH.

On each of the three days, children’s High Holiday programs will take place from 11:00 am through 1:00 pm. Parents are requested to arrive on time when our children’s programs end at 1:00 pm. The following are the locations of children’s programs:

Students in grades 7 and up may participate in the main service with their families. Only students designated as Madrichim to help with our special High Holiday children’s programs will be permitted in the upstairs and kindergarten room.
