Youth & Family Services Programs
The Youth and Family Services Programs is dedicated to creating engaging, fun and inclusive programming centered around Jewish Holidays, Ritual and Culture for children through age 12.
Events will encourage children to come together with their Jewish Community to explore and learn about Judaism through meaningful hands-on activities led by Youth Program Educator, Arielle Derby. Arielle Derby has joined us as our Youth Program Educator. Arielle has 20 years of experience as a teacher, a Jewish day school director, Judaic studies director, and a Jewish Day School principal. She has two children, Edan, 11, and Asher, 4.
Events will have a central theme tied to a Jewish Holiday or Ritual, and may include crafts, shared book reading, baking/cooking, music and movement activities. Through continued participation and attendance, families will become part of a vibrant young Jewish Community, allowing their children to feel culturally connected with other Jews nearby.
