Welcome! Young Families
Mishpach-a means firstly a family, but can also refer to a wider communal network of friends and acquaintances, shared by a common bond.
At Kol Ami we welcome young families to discover our mispach-a. Join us at Tot Shabbat for joyful music, a nosh, crafts and play. Celebrate the Jewish holidays during the High Holy Days, Sukkot Festival, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah and Purim. Check out our My Grown Up & Me programming including a Baby Playdate Class for babies under 14 months and our First Friends Program for toddlers (14 – 22 months) and their parent/caregiver.
Events are geared toward families with children 5 and under, but siblings are always welcome. They are FREE and OPEN to the community so please bring a friend, unless otherwise noted. RSVP’s are appreciated for planning purposes. Please keep reading to see details about upcoming events and opportunities to RSVP. Hope to see you there!
