Youth and Young Family High Holiday Programming
YYF invites families and friends to join us for a participatory and meaningful 5786 High Holiday Season. Come see your friends, sing familiar tunes, dip apples in honey, listen to traditional stories, learn the steps of the service and the meaning of certain prayers, hear the shofar, perform tashlikh, and so much more!
We are offering High Holiday services, interactive stations, and other events for families with children aged 0 to 13.
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.
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!
