Youth Department

Shabbat youth groups at Congregation Beth Aaron provide a supervised and structured informal learning environment that allows children to deepen their love of Judaism and develop a positive connection with the shul. Youth groups begin at 9:30 and end when the Main shul finishes davening.

They are broken down as follows:

  Children have the opportunity to play with toys and other children their age.These children must be accompanied by a parent.
• Nursery and Pre-K Group (3-4 year olds- must be potty trained) 
  Children in this group enjoy free play time, storytelling, singing songs, tefillah, snack, and an interactive parsha lesson.
