Children's Service

Thursday, September 29, 2011 (Rosh Hashanah) and

Saturday, October 8, 2011 (Yom Kippur) 

Kehila Chadasha is once again pleased to offer an experiential High Holiday program for children. Our unique programs integrate worship, music, art and storytelling. The children experience the joy and meaning of the holidays through these special, hands-on Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur activities. Healthy snacks will be served both mornings and the children will have an opportunity to join the adult service to hear the blowing of the Shofar.

NOTE: Given the nature of the program, it would be ideal if your child arrives at 9:45 AM.

NOTE: There will be no children's program during the evening services on Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre. If you choose to bring your children, they must be able to sit quietly through these services.

Enrollment for children's services is on a first come, first serve basis and spaces are limited. Please register by September 14 via the Online Order System (payment by credit card only) or print, fill in and mail this Downloadable Order Form  (payment by check, only).

The Essentials:

Ages:

  • Younger than 5 years -- accompanied by a parent or familiar adult who remains with the child throughout the program.
  • 5 to 6 years who do not require parental supervision -- with a parent or familiar adult checking once every hour.
  • 7 to 12 years -- can be unaccompanied.
