Tot Shabbat

Tot Shabbat engages very young kids (ages 2-6) and their caregivers in singing and dancing in sweet celebration of Shabbat. Meeting for one hour, approximately two times per month, Tot Shabbat is meaningful fun for all the participants. There is no charge and drop-ins are always welcome!  To learn more, please contact Holli Goldenberg

The Congregational School

The Congregational School is for children 5-13 years old. The children learn Hebrew, prayers, history and ethical ideas connected with being Jewish. Children are respected for their ideas and learn through projects and active lessons.  To learn more, please contact Holli Goldenberg

Teens

We engage our teens through a range of programs geared just for them, including Teen Social Group; Teen Leadership Seminar and Food for Thought. We are eager to partner with our teens in creating dynamic and meaningful programs.

Our Teen Social Group brings teens together from Mishkan Shalom and other local congregations for connection and fun activities. 

We also offer our older teens the opportunity to prepare for Confirmation by following a Pathway to Confirmation which suits their individual needs and interests.
