Young Family Shabbat at the Lake with Morah Debbie

New this summer! Bring your family to the lake, and welcome in Shabbat each week with the magical Morah Debbie. What makes Shabbat so special? We’ll give you the ingredients, with singing, dancing, stories, prayers, friends, and nature. As we come to the end of a long, busy week, take a deep breath as a family and as a community. This service is geared towards children 7 yrs. and younger, along with their parents and grandparents, but we think kids of all ages will love spending Shabbat with Morah Debbie! The ruach (spirit) and joy of a JRC Shabbat will stay with you in the week to come—t’s all about “fun Judaism”!

No need to register- just bring a blanket or lawn chairs. Join us for our Community Picnic following the service (bring your own picnic dinner most nights, and some nights it’s a potluck), and after that, we invite you to stay for our camp-like Shabbat evening service at 7 pm. Be there for all, part, or none of the service—playing and running around is encouraged at Lakefront Shabbat!

Young Family Shabbat at the Lake with Morah Debbie is open to all! No need to be a JRC member. Feel free to bring your friends and family (and friendly dogs are welcome too!).

Debbie Heifitz Porter is truly captivating with children and families. She has years and years of early childhood experience and is a beloved Kehillah teacher at JRC.
