SWEET START YOUTH PROGRAM
Monday, September 22nd | 9:30am-12:30pm | Ages 3 - 11
Drop off your children for a morning of creative holiday fun while you prepare for Yom Tov! Children will create beautiful Rosh Hashana art
to bring home, help craft decorations for the Sukkah, and take part in indoor games and stories that celebrate the spirit of the season. We’ll explore the themes of sweetness, new beginnings, and mitzvot in age‑appropriate ways, helping children connect to the holidays while having a great time with friends.
Lunch & snacks included.
Cost $30/child | Early Bird: save $5 for 1 child or $10 for 2+ by Friday, September 19th. Please register here.
