Learning/Family Learning Experiences

In an effort to create one community of families, we designed a series of family learning experiences for all of our Bet Am Shalom families. The programs revolve around Kabbalat Shabbat, Shabbat morning, Havdalah and special Sunday morning learning experiences.

Kabbalat Shabbat Service followed by Family Shabbat Dinner

This is an opportunity to celebrate and get to know the BAS community better, as families are warmly invited to participate. Grades K-7 will participate in an age-appropriate family service separate from the main service. 8th-12th Grade families will join the main service. Services are followed by a Shabbat dinner and will include a short, fun activity to strengthen our connections. Services start at 6:15pm.

2011-2012 Dates:

Kindergarten and 1st Grade Families: 12/16/11
2nd and 3rd Grade Families: 3/16/12
4th-6th Grade Families: 4/20/12 (4th-6th graders and parent/grandparent volunteers will cook the Shabbat dinner after school that day.)
7th Grade Families: 5/18/12
8th-12th Grade Families: 1/27/12
