Sundays, 10–11:30am; Conference Room

November 3, 17, December 1, 12, March 2, 30, May 4, 18, June 8, Final Session TBD

Are you seeking connections with other families raising Jewish children? Are you curious how to “do” Jewish as a family? Do you have questions about Judaism and are eager to learn more in a safe and welcoming environment? Join the inaugural cohort of JFAMILY Parents Circle to learn, ask questions, and grow among like-minded peers.

Parents Circle is a program that aims to build community among parents who are raising young Jewish children, enrich participants’ Jewish knowledge by exploring ancient and modern sources, and help parents create a Jewish home with intention and meaning.

Utilizing the IYUN curriculum, The Home We Build Together, as the program’s anchor, Parents Circle will meet ten times over the course of 8 months. Each session will include eating, learning, socializing, and fun. Babysitting will be provided so that parents can have time for themselves. Consistent attendance is appreciated.

Facilitator: Jacqui Lipschitz, JCC Jewish Educator
