This year, in addition to regular in-person services in the sanctuary (also livestreamed on the TBE website), we will be conducting three special programs on the mornings of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Two are family services and the third is an innovative approach to the High Holy Days we’re calling an “outdoor youth experience.”
Each program will be approximately 45-50 minutes in length and will be held under a large tent on the upper lawn.
10:00 am: A service for families with children ages 5 and younger
11:00 am: A service for families with children in elementary school
These two services will be led by Natasha Fenster, Jonathan Cahr and Lisa Gittelman-Udi, and consist of age-appropriate music, prayers, blessings and stories. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Siblings are welcome to attend.
12:00 pm: Outdoor youth experience for middle-school-age children
This program, led by Lisa Gittelman-Udi and Jonathan Cahr, will focus on prayer, music and discussion as a way for children in grades 6, 7, and 8 to explore the meaning of the High Holy Days. Parents with sanctuary tickets can leave their child(ren) and worship indoors during this time.
There is limited seating in our tent, so we are requiring registration in advance. There will be “tent” tickets issued for those individuals who do not have a ticket for in-person sanctuary services.
