“My task is not to debate whether I’m a Jew or not, but to figure out what kind of Jew I am. For me, finding a secular Jewish community with progressive politics fits my version of that identity.”
Family Holiday Celebrations
Families with children of all ages are welcome to attend all of our community-wide holiday celebrations and observances throughout the year. And we create some services and celebrations just for families. As with our larger holiday programs, observance is not centered around prayer and worship, but our history, our values and our connectedness to each other. All families are welcome!
- Rosh Hashanah Family Service for children ages 8 and younger
- Family Chanukkah Party
- Purim Carnival
- Passover Seder
For families with younger children, our monthly Preschool Playtime programs always include stories, songs and art projects centered around holidays in the Jewish calendar.
Looking for ideas about holiday observance in your own home? Resources are available with suggestions for social justice themes, fun activities, and meaningful rituals.
