The Family Education Committee seeks to encourage spiritual and religious growth in families as well as assisting families in building connections and community within Temple Emunah. Family Education programs strive to enable parents to strengthen themselves as the Jewish educators of their children and to assist families in observing Jewish tradition within the home. The Family Education Committee sponsors and co-sponsors activities such as:

• Family-oriented Shabbat and Holiday services and programs
  • Tot Shabbat
  • Family Minyan
  • Simḥat Tot
  • Family High Holiday Services
• The Lulav Shake and Sukkot Marketplace
• Family Shabbat Dinners
• Community Celebrations
• Learners Services
• The Darshan Mentor Program
• Home Ritual Workshops
• Ikkarim

These programs are made possible through a generous grant from the Sh’arim initiative of Combined Jewish Philanthropies.

See Family Programming for a list of upcoming programs sponsored fully or in part by the Family Education Committee.
