K’tanim
K’tanim is our Friday evening enrichment program for children ages three through third grade whose parents are at temple for Shabbat services. Each month our K’tanim director Penny Verin-Shapiro chooses a Jewish theme and builds activities around it. K’tanim allows parents to enjoy services while knowing that their children are enjoying Jewish programming nearby. Participation in the K’tanim program is free, as long as parents are onsite.
The K’tanim program meets approximately twice a month during the months between Sukkot and Shavuot. For questions please call Jeanna Francis at 559-432-3600. This year’s schedule is:
