High Holidays for Kids
We love seeing your kids over the High Holidays! Your children are welcome in our main services. There is a soundproof "quiet room" in the back of the Atrium sanctuary; parents can hear the service and babies and toddlers can make noise with no one hearing them. We are also pleased to be able to provide children's services and youth discussions again this year. We will also do a blessing for children during the Torah service.
Supervision of Children of All Ages
Children are not allowed to roam around the building unsupervised. Parents must make sure their children are in children's or adult services, youth discussions, or the library. Please set the expectation that they are not allowed to walk on the ledges or railings or wander upstairs, down the halls, or on the playground.
Pre-Teens and Teens: Teens and pre-teens (ages 10-17) are welcome to hang out just outside of the sanctuary or in the library. Please encourage them to attend youth discussions.
