Mishpacha. Family in Hebrew. And at Temple Sholom we embrace a family of events once a month when this Community Group, one of the temple’s largest, hosts its monthly Shabbat Service.
-
First, at 5:00-5:30 PM it’s a Tot Shabbat for families with young children, including Gan Shalom families, to join our clergy and educators in singing, celebrating, and praying together.
-
Following that is a Community-Style Family Dinner at 5:30 PM-6:00. There is always food suited for the kids and we often offer a kosher option.
-
Friday Night Services begin at 6:15. This lively congregational event includes students from different grades helping lead the community in a variety of prayers and songs from the bimah.
-
During this time, we offer a “Shabbat Children's Experience” for children 7-years-or younger.
-
And then of course, we conclude with a family-friendly oneg and you leave with the perfect start to your Shabbat.
Of course, there are other opportunities to engage with our Mishpacha community that include Mishpacha meet-ups around the city, family-oriented service projects, and our Mishpacha Winter Camp Getaway at URJ Camp OSRUI in Wisconsin.
Above all, Mishpacha grows the next generation of Jews by providing all involved a warm, inviting place to embrace their extended Jewish family!
