We have children's and intergenerational programs in addition to regular Shabbat and holiday services. Caring for the children of our members is an important aspect of Shir Hadash. We are mindful of providing ways for them to experience the Havurah as their community. We provide ongoing programs for children by age group, programs for children together with adults, and a Sunday morning Jewish education program for children in grades 1 through 7. While we hire professional educators and an Education Director to work with the children, there is also a great deal of involvement in children's programming and education on the part of parents and other adult members of the Havurah.
Parents assist a professional caretaker for informal Jewish learning experience.
On the first Saturday of each month, the Havurah conducts a special service geared toward children in 1st through 4th grades. Holiday Programs and Celebrations Programming during High Holiday services and during the annual Retreat. Family programs for holidays such as Simhat Torah, Hanukah, Purim and Tu B'Shvat. The CJP and Shir Hadash contribute along with you in this savings plan to fund a trip to Israel for your child during high school. Special programming in Jewish culture throughout the year for pre-teens.
