Programs for Preschoolers!

Shalom Shabbat, our Friday morning Sabbath service for small folk, is every Friday from 10am to 10:30 am in the Sanctuary. Introduce your little ones to the joy of Shabbat! Join Rabbi Heidi Hoover in celebrating the coming of Shabbat by singing your way through the Friday evening service, followed by the Shabbat blessings (with challah and juice!). No Jewish or Hebrew knowledge is necessary. Shalom Shabbat welcomes infants/preschool children and their grownups -- babysitters included! 

Tot Shabbat, our monthly Saturday program for small children, returns December 15th at 10:30 am. Beginning in January, Tot Shabbat will be EVERY second Saturday of the month: (January 12th, February 9th, March 9th, April 13th, May 11th). Join our Rabbinic Intern Lizz Goldstein for songs, stories and a Shabbat snack!

As a community, we continue to pray for the complete and full recovery of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, William Kloner.

Our turn-of-the-century synagogue is located in Prospect Park South, a landmark district of victorian homes listed in the National register of Historical Places. The original congregation (Temple Beth Emeth) was established in 1911 by Hannah Hirsch and 35 families concerned with educating children in reform Judaism.

Worshippers pray in a "jewel box" sanctuary with a sculptured bronze ark, oak pews, magnificent Torahs, and majestic stained glass windows. The air-conditioned sanctuary is fully accessible to all. Other features include classrooms, offices, an endowed library and a full service banquet hall that is available to members to celebrate important Simchas -- also available for social and community functions.
