We love seeing your kids over the High Holidays! Your children are welcome in our main services. If they want to make noise, there is a soundproof room in the back of the Atrium sanctuary; parents can hear the service and babies and toddlers do not need to be quiet. We are pleased to be able to provide childcare again this year. And we hope that you and your children will join us for services and programs. Please register below.
Childcare
We will provide childcare on the first morning of Rosh Hashanah and on the morning of Yom Kippur. We need an accurate head count in order to hire the correct number of childcare providers so registration is required -- the deadline is September 5. Parents who have not registered before September 5 are welcome to supervise their own child within the children’s space. We will also have a cancellation list for late registrations. Read our policies and sign up on the registration page.

Join our community songleader, Aviv Kammay, and Shaarei Shamayim member, Deb Hearst, for a fun service with singing and stories for young children. Rabbi Laurie will drop in to tell a story. Feel free to stay afterwards to meet other families. Bring your own toys and snacks, or come into the main service. Parents are welcome to spend time in a soundproof "quiet room" attached to the back of the main sanctuary. You can hear the service, but no one can hear you.
