Starting Over In The Middle: Rosh Hashanah For Kids & Teens
Sunday, September 20 - 9am
We will begin together with a brief Rosh Hashanah T’filah (service) – lots of ruach (spirit)with special prayers and songs for the New Year! Following our brief T’filah, we will separate into breakout rooms by age as we go on a scavenger hunt for God and begin our celebration of 5781 together! There is will be special rooms for those in preschool and kindergarten and their families, another for 1st-5th graders, and one for tweens and teens.
