Pre-K Workshops

Pre-K Workshops - Saturday mornings, ages 3-5

 
Our Pre-K workshops gently introduce children to the Jewish holidays and Jewish values with song, dance, drama, and art.  Modern Hebrew terms and Israeli children's songs are introduced throughout the program. 
Themed courses for preschoolers meet on Saturday mornings throughout the school year from 9-10:15. Parents can join their child for Tot Shabbat at 10:15-10:45 after the workshop or remain in the classroom if their child needs them.
 
Please also join us for PJ Havdalah programs throughout the year.  We will sing songs to say goodbye to Shabbat, enjoy a meal together, and do a quick Havdalah service before saying goodbye.  Feel free to come in PJs!  Saturdays, 4:30-6:30pm on October 21, November 18, January 20, March 10, and June 16.

Our Pre-K workshops gently introduce children to the Jewish holidays and Jewish values with song, dance, drama, and art. Modern Hebrew terms and Israeli children's songs are introduced throughout the program. Our day begins at 9am in the Sanctuary with the rest of our Bet Midrash youth and adult learners to sing some morning blessings, continues to the classroom for an hour long workshop, and ends with a half hour Tot Shabbat.

 

This year, Bnai Keshet is also part of a cohort of 3 Greater Metrowest synagogues bringing the energy and creativity of the 92Y's highly acclaimed Shababa! program to the New Jersey Jewish community.
