Family Shabbat with JITC

It's Tu Bishvat - the New Year for Trees! We invite you to join us for an exciting launch of the Monthly Family Shabbat!

While children are welcome to join us every Shabbat morning with our fun tots programs, we invite families for this monthly family-focussed Shabbat that is filled with extra fun and lots of friends! We will also celebrate any Jewish birthdays of our youngest friends - please let us know if yours can be included!

Parallel to inspiring and meaningful services (which require no previous experience) is a fun children's program with dedicated age-groups for an engaging 2 hours of Shabbat fun followed by a delicious lunch buffet with children's seating. 

We invite you to celebrate and honor your or a family member's special days by becoming a Kiddush co-sponsor with an amount of your choice. Please reach out to discuss options or simply include a sponsorship at registration.
