Check out our full calendar for 2024-2025.  Here is an explanation of our regular monthly Mishpachah Events*:

First Fridays: Family Shabbat Service, 5:30pm

Spend Shabbat as a family at our brief, family-oriented services, the first Friday of every month. Rabbi Kraus leads an interactive service with a child-friendly prayerbook, stories, and singing. This service draws families with children grade 2 and under.

Shake It Up Shabbat: Saturday Mornings, 9:00am

Bring your children (preschool age and below) for a lively and fun 25-minute service filled with movement and music led by our clergy.  Following our service, Mindy Elins leads an activity session to engage children and their families with Shabbat, holidays, and Jewish tradition.

Rishonim: Sunday Mornings, 9:30am

Children age 3 to 5 are invited to register for Rishonim - a warm, nurturing introduction to Jewish life taught by Mindy Elins, an experienced early-childhood educator!  Come meet other young families, learn about Jewish rituals and holidays through music, stories, crafts, games, and more!  Classes run 15 Sundays, September through May; registration required.

Mishpachah Events: 

Throughout the year, we will announce engaging activities for both families and adults including the Tu B'Shevat Walk and "Whine Free" Wine and Cheese Night.  If you have questions, would like to add your name to our mailing list, are interested in hosting an event, or would like to become more involved with leadership, please contact Rabbi Sandi**.
