Youth/Teen Programming and Childcare
We are pleased to offer meaningful and fun programs for children in Kindergarten through 12th grade. There is no additional cost for these programs. Childcare is available at a minimal cost per day for children ages 2-4 years. For security purposes, all children entering the building for family services, youth/teen programs, or volunteer opportunities must register in advance.
Also for security purposes, children who are not attending programming must either be overseen by a ticket-holding parent/guardian or go to the designated "Take-a-Break" room.
Family Service
We are thrilled to announce that on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, TIC member Dr. Marc Dinkin will lead a dynamic service offering families the opportunity to sit, pray and sing together. This service will be centered around families with children in grades K-6. We kindly request that adults stay with their children as this is not a drop-off service. No RSVP is required. All are welcome!
If your family plans to attend the Family Service, but there is a possibility that your child(ren) would prefer to attend the drop-off grade-level youth programs, please register them for the youth programming to help our staff prepare accordingly.

Shinshinim Arriving in August
On August 26th, we will have four Shinshinim arriving in Westchester County. TIC is one of several participating synagogues that benefits from the presence of these Israeli young people, who visit our schools, including Schechter Westchester, Carmel Academy, Shorashim and Havurat Torah. The Westchester Jewish Council still needs your help in finding host families for these young people; th
ey need three families for three months for each one of the Shinshinim. Their first priority is to have a family with teenagers, if possible, and if not, they will accept families with younger children and empty nesters who are involved in the community and can involve the Shinshinim in the community, as well.
Time slots are: August 26-December 2, 2018; December 2, 2018-March 17, 2019; and March 17-June 18, 2019.
View the guide for potential host families here and the application form here, and see a video of the Shinshinim here. The questions in the application form and the guide are provided to help the WJC better understand the lifestyle of the host and to try to make the best match between the host family and the Israeli Shinshinim.
