YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES AND TEEN PROGRAM

Welcome 5784 with the whole family! Our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur morning Youth and Family Services are held under a large tent on the patio behind the Old Stone House in JJ Byrne Park and are open to the public. Services are broken down by age group, and are each about 45 minutes long. Our Yachad and camp team host children’s activities on site, and we encourage families to stay, play, and connect.

We also offer additional Tot Services for ages 0–5 on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre, and a service and seder for kids aged 0–12 and their families on the second day of Rosh Hashanah.

In addition, we have a Teen Program for CBE members in 7th–12th grade. You do not need to be a Yachad student to participate in the Teen Program.
