Sunday Story Hour

We're thrilled that educator and popular children's entertainer, Temple Sinai member Saragail Benjamin, is leading Sunday Story Hour programs at Temple Sinai this year!
 
Once a month, we'll embrace our kids in the warmth of mishpachah (family) to create joyful first Jewish experiences.  We'll play, sing, dance, hear stories, seasoning our year with holiday celebrations and Jewish values.  A fun, wonderful way for young families to connect with each other and their heritage.  
 
For families with kids ages 1-7.  All are welcome to attend.

Watch the newsletter for details about the topic each month. Next Story Hour will be held on Sunday, December 8.
