Family Programs

The Family Programs Subcommittee works to enrich the spiritual lives of Adat Shalom families and help children build strong attachments to Judaism, Reconstructionism, and the Adat Shalom community. We are especially interested in encouraging family worship and family participation in social action activities and enhancing the family-friendliness of our building.  Our goal is to:

• identify opportunities to better meet the needs of all Adat Shalom families, including those with children not enrolled in Torah School,
  
• introduce programs that help stimulate family participation in Adat Shalom, and
  
• support family-related activities sponsored by other Adat Shalom committees.

Current Programs

• Kids Care Club (Tikkun Olam for families with children ages six and under, co-sponsored with the  Social Action Committee
  
• Tot Shabbat services for young children led by Rene Boni
  
• Holiday celebrations for Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B'Shvat, Purim, and Shavuot
  
• Shabbat babysitting and the Quiet Room
  
• KidZone (supervised activities for children ages 5-12 during Shabbat morning services and the oneg)
