Tot Shabbat
On the third Shabbat morning of each month, pre-school
teacher Lauren Kalmanson conducts a Tot Shabbat program
at Beth Ami. Combining prayers, stories, arts and crafts,
singing, dance, and refreshments, Lauren presents a
Shabbat experience for the youngest members of our community
and their families. Each month, Tot Shabbat begins at
9:30 a.m. and continues until approximately noon. At
the conclusion of the Tot Shabbat experience, the children
are invited to sit on the Bimah with the rabbi for the
singing of Bim-Bam/Shabbat Shalom, and all in attendance
are invited to participate with the general congregation
in the potluck lunch in the social hall.
Open to all families in the community (not only Beth
Ami members), the Tot Shabbat experience is a chance
for families to share together in a warm, supportive
Shabbat atmosphere. While geared primarily for the benefit
of pre-school aged children and their families, older
siblings are welcome to share with their families.
Please spread the word that "Tot Shabbat"
has arrived and we look forward to sharing the Shabbat
with families with young children.
