Looking for a fun Shabbat experience for the whole family? Look no further! Join Rabbi Cecelia Beyer and the Mishpacha Minyan for a family-friendly, engaging, and educational Shabbat morning service in the Sandler Chapel! We meet every other week during the school year for prayer, song, Torah, and kiddush with our children ages 8 and up and their parents, siblings, grandparents – and the “whole mishpacha!” Together the whole family learns the basics of the service, can try out leading, get an aliyah, learn Torah, and even get a piece of chocolate – ah, the sweet taste of Torah!
The Mishpacha Minyan also provides our 6th Grade “Vav” class the opportunity to begin reading Torah in preparation for their upcoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Come join us for a warm, spiritual, educational service you won’t want to miss!
For families with children ages 8 and up from 10:45-12:00 bimonthly in the Sandler Chapel.
Minyan Yeladeynu
Our TBS Minyan Yeladeynu, for children ages 8 and up, meets during the school year on those weeks when the Mishpacha Minyan does not meet. Join us to learn about the customs and symbols of the Shabbat Morning Service in which the children take turns leading different parts of the service. Each session we perform a skit based on the Torah portion, discuss the parasha, and talk about how it relates to us today. The best part about Minyan Yeladeynu is that everyone participates in some way and we always take the time to ask and answer questions about what we’re doing. All questions are welcome!
For children ages 8 and up from 10:30-12:00 bimonthly in the Library.
Mini Minyan
Mini Minyan is our ruach-filled interactive Shabbat experience for familes with children ages 3-7. Join us in the Youth Lounge for songs, dance, games, stories, snacks, and celebration! After our very own Mini Minyan kiddush, we join the rabbis and the cantor on the steps of the bimah in the Main Sanctuary to help lead Adon Olam for the entire congregation!
For families with children ages 3-7 from 10:45-12 noon in the Youth Lounge
Shabbateeny
Shabbateeny is a very special Shabbat celebration for our teeny children, geared towards families with children under three years old. Come take part in an interactive experience of joyous song, body movement, Shabbat melodies, and story time! Share fellowship with other families with young children! RSVPs appreciated, but not required, to Rabbi Cara Weinstein Rosenthal and Dr. David Rosenthal.
