Families with Children

One of the most dramatic changes over the last 10 years has been the number of members who have welcomed children into their lives. It is the hope of CBST that these children – by being welcomed and supported by a Jewish community in which all family structures are valued – will grow up with a positive sense of their Jewish identities and, in their own ways, go on to create a more tolerant world.

As our child population has grown, CBST has increased the range of educational and spiritual programs directed at these young congregants and is working to develop even more. All of CBST’s children’s programs are interactive and intergenerational. Children of all ages and families of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to come and participate.

All of CBST's children's programs are interactive and intergenerational. Children of all ages and families of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to come and participate. Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, bring your children! Children bring your adults!

For more information or to enroll your child, please contact Melissa Simon, Director of Children's Educator, at msimon@cbst.org.
