Youth and Family Programs
Family First Shabbat Services First Friday of every month in the Summer
First Fridays at CBT are tailored to our children and families. At 5:30 we have a sweet Tot Shabbat service for the littlest members of our community, which is held on the floor of the sanctuary with songs, guitar and short prayers and stories. This 20-25 minute service is followed by kiddush, motzi, and a delicious community dinner in the social hall. At 6:30 we return to the sanctuary for a Family Service geared towards school-aged kids with lots of singing and familiar prayers. Bring your families and join us for a joyful beginning to the month!
During summer months, Family First Shabbat becomes Shabbat in the Park. Join us with a blanket and picnic dinner to enjoy a beatiful, family-friendly, and casual service at the park.
Mesibaba Bringing 2nd—7th graders together to have FUN!
