First Steps in Jewish Learning, Community and Celebration
No matter what your religious background - Jewish or not ― if you are rearing children Jewishly we can help enrich your efforts in a comfortable and sup-portive setting where you can meet other parents/grandparents/caregivers and their children. Basic information below. Check our website for details.
No prior knowledge needed. We'll meet you "where you are" and help you get to where you want to go within the vast world of Jewish living, learning and celebrating. No matter the configuration of your family, you're welcome in our community.
Boker Tov Babies - Geared for infants and toddlers, with preschool children welcome as well. Friday mornings, 10:00 - 11:00 AM. Twice a month. Parents, grandparents and caregivers are part of it all. A casual, relaxed hour. Free.
Boker Tov Tots - Geared for toddlers, pre-K and kindergarten, but babies wel-come, too. Sunday mornings, 9:30 to 11:30 AM. Twice a month. Parents, grandparents and caregivers are part of it all. A family education program. Program fee depends on age of child and membership status.
Note: While we’d love to have you join our congregation, membership is not required for either program.
* "Boker Tov" means "good morning” and rhymes with "Poker Cove".
Both programs are held at The Jewish Community House, 133 High Street
