Connect With Other Young Families
Welcome! Young Families of Alexandria and Arlington offers a place where families raising Jewish children can meet one other, celebrate together, and build community.
In addition to Shabbat and holiday programming, we offer many other opportunities for families to "do something Jewish" with friends and neighbors. Some events are organized by Agudas Achim and others by volunteers. All families are welcome, regardless of synagogue membership or affiliation.
Check our website often for information about upcoming events and to find helpful resources. You can also follow us on Facebook or sign up to receive emails from Agudas Achim Young Families. We hope to see you soon!
Questions or ideas? Contact Jen, Director of Young Family Engagement.

Family Fun
Young families havdalah
Saturday, January 21 | 6:30 p.m.
Don your warmest, coziest pajamas and join Morah Jen and other Young Families to bid farewell to Shabbat. We'll gather around the firepit to make s'mores, sing some songs, tell a fun story or two, and make new friends as we welcome in a brand new week.
Young Families and Growing Jewish Families are also partnering together for Pajamuary, so bring a set of NEW PJs to donate for our neighbours in need for this mighty mitzvah project.
