PTBE TOT PROGRAMS (Age 5 and Under)

In the years before your children are ready for a formal religious education, we know how important it is to give them positive, fun and lighthearted Jewish experiences. We invite parents with young children to join us for a variety of offerings for our littlest learners (typically best for children five and under). To join our PTBE Tots email list, contact Alison Levy at alevy@ptbe.org

Shavuot Tot Shabbat & Family Picnic

On Shavuot we celebrate receiving the Ten Commandments at Mt Sinai. It is traditional to celebrate with dairy treats like ice cream & cheesecake.

Friday, June 7, 5:30 - 7:00pm

PTBE Fireside Room, Patio & Playground

Come celebrate Shabbat and the spring holiday of Shavuot with your PTBE friends, co-hosted by Jewish Baby Network. Join JBN’s Carol Booth and PTBE’s Alison Levy for singing, puppets, shakers, blessings, playtime and yummy dairy treats.

After a lively and joyful Tot Shabbat service in the Fireside Room, we’ll head out to the patio & playground for a family picnic and playtime. Pack a picnic dinner and come join the fun! PTBE will provide the challah, juice, and picnic tables. Plus wine for the grown-ups!
