Once a month, Temple Shalom offers three special services for our young people.

Junior Congregation    Ages 8+ 
An opportunity for the kids to run the service, take out a special Torah, recite the blessings, learn the melodies, and act out the weekly parsha.

Shabbat Yeladim   Ages 6 to 8
 A fun introduction to Shabbat morning services for children who are too mature for Tot Shabbat but not yet ready for Jr Congregation. We use our own special Siddur and Torah.  Through prayers, stories and songs, we encourage all of the kids to get involved. 

Tot Shabbat  for ages 0-6
Introduce your child to the joy of Shabbat in a relaxed, fun atmosphere with kid-friendly prayer, songs, puppets, stories and a special Shabbat craft.
