BEginnings

BEginnings is a monthly Sunday morning introduction to Jewish education for families with children 0-5 years old. Each morning includes a light bagel breakfast and and community time, followed by parallel child and parent programming.

• 8:45–9:30am — Play, schmooze, eat! Enjoy a dedicated playing area filled with toys as well as bagels, coffee, and hot cocoa.
• 9:30–9:45am — Kehilla (community) gathering led by Beth El clergy
• 9:45–10:30am — Parallel sessions for parents and kids:
  • Kids age 3-5 go to our preschool room to engage in Jewish arts and crafts, storytelling, and playtime led by Beth El teachers
  • Parents and younger children stay with our clergy for collaborative educational sessions focusing on Jewish parenting, holiday how-to’s, and more — most importantly, forming connections with other local Jewish or interfaith families
