Young Families

   We are a volunteer-led group that plans and leads events for families with children ages 0-5. We offer a place where families can meet each other and build a Jewish community.  Events are generally held on evenings and weekends and programed for parents to attend with children. Although preregistration is sometimes required, programs are open to members and non-members of the synagogue and are generally separate from the Preschool program.  Our signature ongoing programs include: weekly Gan (tot) Shabbat; monthly Shababy Kabbalat Shabbat celebration with singing and juice/challah; and monthly Oh Say Shalom Singing and Playgroup with our Hazzan (Cantor). We also sponsor holiday programming for High Holidays, Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B'shevat, etc. To find out more, please join Agudas Achim Young Families on Facebook and sign up for weekly AAC email announcements.  To get involved  contact us.

 

Saturdays | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. | Jacob and Esther Siegel Religious School Wing, Rooms 1&2
   Get your Shabbat Feeling at our family-friendly service for kids ages 0-5, accompanied by an adult. This spirited service includes songs, movement, and fun for the whole family. 

   This program is volunteer led and always looking to expand. Training and materials are provided. To join the leadership team -- no experience necessary -- sign up online.

 

First Sunday of the month | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. | Flax Family Chapel
   The AAC Young Family Playgroup is for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers. Older siblings welcome.

   The playgroup meets in the chapel for an hour with a 30-minute sing-a-long led by Hazzan Elisheva Dienstfrey. On occasion, these sing-alongs will coincide with other Young Family events to help enrich our already fabulous programming. For more information, please contact Mackenzie Silverman or Jennifer Munz.
