Tot Shabbat & K'Tonton

At Shearith Israel, your little ones are always welcome. We have babysitting on Saturday mornings, and offer Tot Shabbat (for up to age 5 with a caretaker) with age-appropriate prayers, songs, movement, stories, and snacks every Shabbat morning from 10:30am – 11:15am outside beneath the awning at the entrance to the Education Building. (View calendar for exceptions, such as holidays.)

We are also offering a K’tonton Pre-School Program one Sunday morning each month from 10:30am – 11:45am in Zimmerman Hall. These programs provide Jewish content and fun for our friends ages five and under. In addition, these programs have proven to be a wonderful way for parents to meet and form their own community within the greater Shearith Israel community.

Register for K'tonton

when/where we meet:

what we do:

We have a blast learning about Jewish holidays and traditions via songs, fun art projects, stories, and other activities.

There is no need to register in advance – simply come and join the fun! Much of our programming is lay-led so we invite our parents to lend a hand when needed, and we’re always open to suggestions or ideas for new programs.  If you have questions, contact Nancy Gorod, Director of Congregational Learning, at ngorod@shearithisrael.com.
