For Our Families
As part of our High Holy Days, we are offering special programs for children and families.
Childcare will be available on site for children ages 4-11. On Rosh Hashanah, we will have childcare for the evening and morning services; on Yom Kippur, we will have childcare for the evening and morning services but not for the Yizkor and Neilah services. We will offer holiday specific programming and music during the daytime services and appropriate activities on erev Rosh Hashanah and erev Yom Kippur. Families are required to reserve a spot and pay a childcare fee in advance of the holidays. Registration must be submitted by 9/24/24 for Rosh Hashanah and by 10/1/2-24 for Yom Kippur in order for us to have sufficient staff to care for your children.
Childcare fees are $30 per service. For families with two children, the fee is $45 per service; for 3 children, $60.
Childcare sign up will be offered when you register for High Holidays.
Children are welcome at our High Holiday services with appropriate adult supervision. They must be in childcare (if pre-registered) or with an adult at all times. To ensure the safety of all our children, we do not want them running around outside, or inside the sanctuary.
With your cooperation, we can ensure their safety and the sanctity of the prayerful space we create together.
We suggest you bring a favorite quiet toy or book for your children. If your child needs a break, please leave via the front doors. When you are ready to return to services, enter quietly and signal to our greeters that you’ve already checked in. We do not have staff to supervise your children in the foyer, upstairs, sanctuary, restrooms, or outside. Thank you.
