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 and Havdalah programs 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 Prelude to Play for babies 12 months and under in partnership with PJ Library and music by Tkiyah, Let There Be Play a sensory story and art class for littles 3 and under in partnership with The K’ilu Company, and our First Friends Program for toddlers (14 – 22 months) and their parent/caregiver.
Events are geared toward families with children 8 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!
