Youth and Young Family High Holiday Programming
YYF invites families and friends to join us for a participatory and meaningful 5785 High Holiday Season. Come see your friends, sing familiar tunes, dip apples in honey, listen to traditional stories, learning the steps of the service and the meaning of certain prayers, hear the shofar, preform taschlich, and so much more!
We are offering High Holiday services, interactive stations, and other events for families with children under bar/ bat mitzvah age.
In addition to family services, we are also offering:
PrayGround in the Kulanu Room. A space for 0 to 3 year olds and their adults to schmooze, pray and have a snack.
A Teen Lounge downstairs, with a breakfast bar for teens only. There will be daily workshops with Allied Voices for Israel (AVI).
The New Year is a time of celebration, hope, and renewal. Let's kick start this year by spending the time together at the YYF High Holiday Programs!
The following is the complete YYF schedule for the High Holidays: please check our webpage for any fun updates and added programs!
