From traditional Israeli melodies to 20th-century Jewish tunes, the concert will be the high note of your day! Immediately following the concert, take your tapping feet straight across the room to a pizza lunch and salad buffet for the whole family (every generation)!

PALS Gives Back
Teaching our children the meaning of a mitzvah is at the heart of this PALS program. Teddy Town is bringing its teddy bear stuffing machine to us, but there is more to the bears we will create than just fluff. Each child will make one furry friend to take home and a second plush teddy to donate to young friends in need through Bears Who Care, an organization that gives new stuffed bears to disadvantaged and sick children. We will stitch up our afternoon with a story about Chanukah.

Saturday, January 8, 6:30-8:00 pm
Havdalah Movie Night
Light up children’s faces with the splendor and warmth of Havdalah on a winter night through candlelighting and songs. Next, we’ll find ourselves somewhere even warmer as we enjoy an episode of Shalom Sesame, Israel’s charming and highly enriching version of Sesame Street.

Tuesday, January 25, 1:30 pm
