| On designated Saturday mornings throughout the year at 10:30 am TOT SHABBAT SERVICE Rabbi Mecklenburger has tailored a unique shabbat service designed for the very special youngest members of our congregation (ages 0-7). On designated Saturday mornings throughout the year at 10:30 am, our tots enjoy a brief service with their peers. They enjoy age appropriate music, prayer, theme related story books, refreshments and crafts! A service the whole family can enjoy. Children, parents, grandparents, siblings and friends are welcome! On January 24th our tots enjoyed learning about the Jewish Holiday Tu B’shvat. They learned how important trees are to our well-being and to our world. We read a story about what we like to do on the holiday “Tu B’shvat” and we read the beautiful story of “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. Our tots even got to be little seedlings who grew, and grew and grew into big strong tall trees with a little love from g-d, and lots of sun and water. Each tot decorated a special pot and planted parsley seeds. They will nurture and grow their parsley plant at home…just in time to include on the Passover sedar plate! Some of our tots also created a Family Tree – representing all the special members of their family they love so much! | | | Upcoming Tot Shabbots: | | Saturday, February 21st | 10:30 am | “It’s Purim!” Come dressed as Queen Esther, Mordechai, King Ahashverosh or mean ol’ Hamen!
