Family Havdalah
Every other month on Saturday afternoons at 4:00 PM, families with children from infancy through elementary school are invited to a meaningful Havdalah service. Led by our clergy and staff, we sing, pray, and play together as we mark the end of Shabbat and welcome the new week. After the service and song session, families can enjoy age-appropriate activities and tasty snacks.
