Raising a Jewish child can be hard. Many of us don't feel able to give our kids a sense of Jewish identity. That's why we started Hand in Hand, a monthly program for families with Jewish children in Pre-K and Kindergarten to share Jewish experiences together in a setting that's fun and friendly. All are welcome--Jewish families, intermarried families, synagogue members and non-members. Younger children are always welcome to attend as well.
Hand in Hand puts the fun part of being Jewish at the center. It's the joy of making a challah, learning how to spin a dreidle, and singing Jewish songs that makes kids feel good about being Jewish. When parents and children learn together, the whole family learns ways of bringing a meaningful Judaism into their home life.
In addition, Hand in Hand students are eligible to enroll in our Aleph Garten Hebrew program held after school on Monday afternoons
