Overview

We are again “together apart” for the holiest day of the year: a day of purpose and introspection. Our new format and worship are anchored in our age-old tradition, and are designed to spiritually renew, teach, and engage. 

The Mindfulness Holy Day: Yom Kippur For Kids & Teens

Prepare for the important messages of Yom Kippur together. Starting with a brief T’filah (service), we’ll then separate into breakout rooms by age. (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.) In these rooms, we’ll engage in meaningful activities connected to Yom Kippur, and our learning theme of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).
