Tot Shabbat!

Please join us on the 4th Saturday of each month at 10am for Tot Shabbat. Bring family and friends for worship, song, movement, teaching moments, and "Ruach," aimed at sparking the joy of Shabbat in our next generation.

Our lay leaders begin each Saturday morning service with warm-up songs to "get us in the mood" of Shabbat. We then proceed through a child-focused version of the familiar liturgy, including an opportunity for personal prayer. There is a Torah Parade for all to join, which leads into an interactive story-time touching on a theme from the week's Torah portion and an introduction to any holiday which might occur that month. We also celebrate “simcha moments,” and recite the family blessing. And no Shabbat service is complete without an oneg -- juice, challah, and a treat for all!

Imagine your children or grandchildren asking you to bring them back to synagogue to celebrate Shabbat. Come join us on the fourth Saturday morning of each month and experience Shabbat through the eyes of our little ones!! For questions or more information, please contact (703) 569-7577 or religiouspractices@adatreyim.org
