Because we love our children ...<br />
Because families should be together on sHaBBat ...<br />
sHaBBat morning babysitting is back<br />
beginning august 25!<br />
We want our children to grow up exposed to those things which<br />
we hold precious in our own hearts. Values are transmitted<br />
through their imitation of our behavior, more than any words<br />
we might share with them. And one of the most important<br />
values we can share is SHABBAT ... especially the importance<br />
of SHABBAT worship.<br />
And so, along with our regularly-scheduled family Shabbat<br />
services (Tot Shabbat, Mishpachah Minyan / K’Ton Time,<br />
Shabbat Family Experience, and Minyan Shelanu), we offer<br />
babysitting on saturdays from 9:30 to 11:30am. should<br />
your child(ren) need a break, feel free to take them to<br />
Room 11 for some play time, stories and a snack.<br />
We want everyone to have a great<br />
SHABBAT experience!<br />
