Families and other community members also come together one Saturday afternoon a month for fun and creative intergenerational learning. Tuesday afternoons the students (3rd–7th grades) come together to learn Hebrew from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah program is fun and interactive, and provides regular opportunities for students to meet one-on-one with the rabbi and other members as part of their preparation. KHN also offers social and educational programs for teens, who also assist with teaching younger students. Kol HaNeshamah offers a Tot Shabbat for those with young children (4 and under) every Friday night from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m., and PJ Library events throughout the year.
