The early years of life are years of fun, learning, and the start of a Jewish experience. This is the time when children and parents can travel together to understand Jewish customs and ceremonies, to know the warmth of celebrating our Jewish holidays, and to share the special feelings of being Jewish.

Temple Emanu-El offers a wide variety of programs for children, parents, and families, which cover the needs of all age groups and knowledge levels. Children are welcome at Temple Emanu-El from the earliest age. High Holiday programs are structured to meet the needs of pre-schoolers through pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Joyous Shabbat services, holiday celebrations and special programs are designed to allow families to select programs which meet their particular needs.

We feel that Temple Emanu-El is a wonderful place to introduce your children to the joys of Judaism while you expand your knowledge. We welcome you to join us, to explore with us, and establish for your children a lifetime love of Judaism.
