FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN KINDERGARTEN TO 5TH GRADE
Here is an extra special program on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for families with children in grades K-5. All are welcome! Join us for Congregation P’nai Tikvah's New Children's High Holiday Happening on Sunday, September 13 from 2 to 3:30pm at the Adelson Educational Campus. This free, child-oriented program is open to the entire community. (Of course any donations are welcome and help us subsidize the costs and expand these efforts!) Activities provide a warm, comfortable entry point for the unaffiliated as well as for interfaith families to learn about the Days of Awe together.
Learn together with your family about the high holidays in a welcoming, experiential and innovative environment. Our host of eager and experienced educators along with talented volunteers, are providing their time to enrich and inspire elementary-age minds and their families! (K-5th grade)
This free Children’s High Holiday Happening will feature 10 stations – each representing aspects of our tradition sure to inspire the minds of our community’s littlest members. Each station will be operating simultaneously, allowing for small groups of children and their families to better connect with our presenters and each other. All stations are designed to stimulate our children’s minds while engaging them in hands-on activities.
The children will have the opportunity to:
1) Listen: A dynamic storytelling presentation with experienced storyteller;
2) Play: Shofar blowing with toy shofarim;
3) Create: Craft station where each child can inscribe their own New Year’s card;
4) Taste: L’shanah tovah (happy new year) station with apples and honey, grape juice and challah;

8) Plan: A how-to station for making New Year’s resolutions;
9) Bless: Holiday performance by congregation’s acclaimed professional actor;
10) Be Blessed: Rabbi and children appreciating life’s simchas (joys) under tallit (prayer shawl).
