Children's Programming at Fabrangen

Children are an important part of our Fabrangen community. On the first and third Shabbat mornings of each month, we provide creative and educational Jewish programs for school-aged children. Drop-ins and visitors always welcome. Fabrangen also provides child care each Shabbat morning (for younger children when there is a program and for all pre-bar/bat mitzvah age children when no program is scheduled). Hebrew school and additional educational opportunities are available at various local congregations, some of which have special fee arrangements. Fabrangen programs provide a good social base for Jewish kids, and there is no fee for our programs.
