Our family programming invites children ages four to 12 and their parents to fun experiences learning about Jewish life. These include interactive weekly programs in which mothers and daughters bond while preparing food for Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and the JOIN Wilderness Academy, where trained guides teach outdoor skills and creating Jewish crafts. In the process, children learn about teamwork and gain self-confidence and knowledge of the Jewish traditions all in a safe, enjoyable environment.
