Shabbat Kids Club

Enjoy your shul experience, while your little ones are enjoying theirs!

Shabbat Kids Club is a fun and gentle entry into the Shabbat synagogue experience for children ages 0-11 years old.  Educational and fun, the weekly program engages children through games, stories, interactive prayers, and introduction to the weekly parsha.  And to make sure the shul experience is authentic there is, of course, a treat-filled Kiddush!

Holiday Programming

Our engaging programs for children ages 0-10 years attract young families and connect them to the Jewish year and Schara Tzedeck, as well as bring the joy of our holiday traditions to our little ones.  Centered around the Jewish festivals and holidays, the programs include activities such as a Sukkot scavenger hunt, Purim carnival, Pesach chocolate seder, Simchat Torah parade, or Channukah dreidl making.  A ‘kid friendly’ meal and music complete the experience. Each holiday has a signature program, either in the morning or late afternoon, complete with a “kid friendly” light dinner.

Families that Give

Families that Give is one of Schara Tzedeck’s most successful and beloved programs.  Developed by the active volunteers of the synagogue’s Youth Committee, the initiative engages families in giving back to the shul and wider Jewish community in an inspiring and hands-on way.  Focused around the Jewish year, often a difficult time for lone seniors, Families that Give brings volunteers together to assemble and deliver hampers of foods, home-made artwork, gifts and messages to those in need.
