CJL Temple Tots & Early Learners Programs
interactive Jewish experiences for Pre-k
Our families with young children come together for interactive experiences to explore Jewish holidays, learn Jewish values and to bond over the “joys and oys” of parenting. Activities take on many forms, for example:
- Singing and dancing
- Baking challah
- Family scavenger hunts
- Crafts
- Community events and socializing
- Family 3 Minute Videos from Temple Israel Clergy
Explore the Center for Jewish Learning (CJL) to learn more about Temple Israel's K-12 grade religious school and our community.
For more information and to discuss your specific needs, please contact Rabbi Wendy Pein, Director of Congregational Learning, at 914-271-4705 ext. 123 or educator@tinw.org.
