Children's Programs This Week: To accommodate a special Shabbat Hatan V'Kalah, our Tot's Shabbat & Children's Program will be held across the street at the Academy Mansion. The building will have a dedicated security agent assigned to protect all the children. Parents will receive a wristband when dropping off their child(ren), and only adults wearing a wristband will be allowed into the building to pick up their child(ren). Children will not be permitted to leave the building or cross the street without a parent. Please be sure to pick up your child(ren) promptly at 11:30am when program ends.
