Teaching Children to love Judaism is one of our most important and potentially meaningful tasks as Jewish parents. Although this may seem challenging, especially amidst the hectic life of having a toddler, it is a lot easier than it sounds. All it takes is an open heart, a few tips and tricks, and the desire to dedicate a few moments during our daly lives to the creation of Jewish memories. Come join us for this user-friendly three part series designed to help you share your love of Judaism with your toddler.
Babysitting will be provided so that you can bring your toddler with you. Bagels and coffee will also be provided. All levels of experience and knowledge are welcome and each class is independent of the other, so you can feel free to drop in on any one that you choose.
