Beginning at 10:30am and running for one hour, the class will focus on the joy of Shabbat through music, movement and stories. The underlying intent of the program is to introduce Judaism to young children and help to develop a comfort in the synagogue.

All members of Kol Ami, neighboring synagogues and unaffiliated families are invited.
