Schedule:

9:15 - 10:15 Tot Shabbat/Young Families Shabbat (babies through 1st grade)
10:30-11:30 Alef & Beyond - Kindergarten & 1st graders
Families begin each session together at Tot Shabbat with Rabbi Kinberg, sharing music, prayer, Torah, and community. Following Tot Shabbat, parents are invited to enjoy free time while children attend Aleph & Beyond, our one-hour Kindergarten and First Grade class from 10:30–11:30 a.m. taught by Annie Erlich.
Designed especially for early elementary learners, Aleph & Beyond brings Judaism to life through engaging stories, hands-on crafts, music, games, holiday celebrations, and meaningful conversations about Jewish values (middot). Children also become familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, common Hebrew words, blessings, and simple prayers, building confidence in a joyful, age-appropriate environment.
Aleph & Beyond is where young learners take their first steps on a lifelong Jewish journey—growing in knowledge, kindness, community, and wonder.
