Junior Congregation is designed for children and parents of all ages and all levels of experience. These Shabbat morning services are interactive, participatory, fun and spiritual. The services allow participants to take an active role in leading prayers as well as learning the structure and meaning of the Shabbat service. Students are required to attend at least three services in the Fall and three services in the Spring so that they will become comfortable with their prayer book reading and have a better appreciation for the Shabbat service.

Our students who are currently attending Junior Congregation find it much easier to follow along in class and eventually have a lot less difficulty when preparing their prayers for their B'nai Mitzvah. By the end of the year, the students that attend are better able to follow along and better able to lead the service. The benefits your child will gain from attending Junior Congregation are immeasurable! To name a few: making friends that may not be in their regular Religious School classes, achieving an overall mastery of the prayers which they need in order to advance, and the benefit of fulfilling the Mitzvah of Avodah (worship).

Services meet twice a month from 9:30-11:00 a.m.
