Family Shavuot Program (0-6th Grade)

5:15pm start time, in Stampfer Chapel

For families with children 0-6th grade.  Join Rabbi Eve and Morah Sarah as we explore the Tree of Life. The Torah is often called the “Tree of Life” because of the lessons it teaches us as we grow and change. Through art and movement, we’ll explore what that “Tree of Life” looks like for individual families. At 6pm we’ll join the congregational dinner (you will need to register for dinner). Come as you are, and when you can.

Dinner will be served following this event at 6pm. Register for dinner lower down this form.
