Shababa:
A hallmark of the Dor Chadash approach, Shababa is a special Shabbat gathering and meal for young people (ages 0‐6) and their grown-ups. It invites each and every person in the room to be a part of a joyful, playful, and often themed celebration. We offer Shababa at our main location and at Levine Academy. High Holy Day Youth & Family Services: On both days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we gather to mark the new year with music, prayer, and joy. Sukkot Dinner: We create edible Sukkot with graham crackers, frosting, and lots of sweet treats. Then, we join the Shearith community for a festive dinner in our Sukkah. Grade Level Shabbat Dinners: All Shearith youth and their grown-ups are invited to delicious Shabbat meals so that each grade can get to know one another. Havdalah and Movie Night: Come for dinner, a candlelit ceremony to say goodbye to Shabbat, and a movie! You bring the stuffies and sleeping bags, and we’ll provide the movie snacks. Grown-ups’ Bnai Mitzvah Party: Music, dancing, and snacks for grown-ups while the kids are enjoying Havdalah movie night in the other room. It’s a chance to relive the fun of your B’nai Mitzvah party days (without the teenage awkwardness). Yad B’Yad: A sweet program for grandparents and their little ones (ages 0‐4). |
Bonim Shabbat:
A wonderful opportunity for grades K-7th students to practice leading a Shabbat service in a low‐key, laid‐back setting. Stay for games based on the weekly Torah reading, and, of course, lunch! Tiny Treasures: Our annual celebration of all the new babies born to Shearith families! Family Camping Trip: A fun, outdoor adventure for adults and kids alike. We will spend the night at the campsite, explore nature together, and, of course, enjoy some s’mores! Family Seder: The most entertaining Passover storytelling, including a full Seder meal. Messy Party: Celebrate the beginning of summer with slime, mud, soap suds, paint, and more! |
