Child Care & Youth Programs

The High Holidays children’s program is perhaps the most joyous embodiment of our name: B’nai Horin - Children Of Freedom.

In a relaxed nature-filled atmosphere the children are introduced to a wide array of age-appropriate activities that playfully reinforce Jewish values. Our objective is to offer the children a deeper understanding and a hand’s-on experience of self-reflection, forgiveness, Teshuvah, renewal and community life.

While we renew and up level our program each year, you can count on the return of many of the children’s favorite activities. We hike in nature, blow the Shofar from the mountaintop, design Mezuzahs, paint peace flags, and even create “rejuvenation bags” to support the fasting adults. We plant seeds by day and have heartfelt discussions by candlelight. We do Yoga and dance the Shema.

We are blessed with many gifted community members who love to share their unique talents with the children:

Gale Gayle, a world-renowned artist, brings her special flair for arts and crafts.

Master Musicians Alula, Rebbe Soul, Stephen Fiske and Jai Josefs lead us in lifting our voices in song.

Dov Geller and Wilda Spaulding teach Hebrew prayers in sign language.

Paulette Rochelle Levy brings the art of creative movement to broaden the experience of our "conversations with God"

Jay Bachrach teaches the children to blow shofar and sing traditional songs

Leslie Goldman -our own wondrous ‘enchanted gardener’ awakens our love of Mother Nature in the most luscious organic way.

This, and so much more, makes the B’nai Horin High Holiday program enriching, enlivening, and just plain fun! We would love to see you there.

The Child Care & Youth Programs combine day care with holy day based art, music, play activities and snack food.

The children are organized into 4 groups:
1. Pre-School
2. Elementary
3. Pre-Teens
4. Pre/Post Bnai Mitzvah.

Parents of infants and pre-schoolers must assist with the program.
Children Focused Services are held at noon on both Holy Days.

Advance Registration is REQUIRED for all Child Care & Youth Programs.
