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. We hope to see you soon!
