Temple Etz Chaim is committed to helping families with young children find a supportive Jewish community and a place to connect with other families raising Jewish children. The Early Childhood Group designs it’s programing for children up to age 6 and their families. We are open to both Temple Etz Chaim members and non-members. Our goal is to introduce Judaism to our youngest children through hands-on experiences, stories and fun. For information contact Margot Rivelis at earlychildhood@temple-etzchaim.org
