Tot Shabbat:
- Saturdays 11:15 AM in the Klinghoffer Chapel
BZBI’s Shabbat celebration for young children – in the Klinghoffer Chapel on Saturday mornings at 11:15 AM! The Tot Shabbat service engages the youngest members of our community in interactive Shabbat songs and stories. It is geared towards children 0-4 and their families, with older siblings always welcome. The atmosphere is casual – you and your little ones can relax, sing, and move around.
This service is led by the amazing Sarah Fleischman, Assistant Director of Early Childhood Education, lifelong BZBI member and Tot Shabbat enthusiast.
