Family

AugustFest

An annual end-of-the-summer casual barbeque that features a DJ and dancing, delicious food, and an opportunity for temple members of all ages to kick back before the New Year and school year begin.

Tashlich at the Beach

To culminate the first day of Rosh Hashanah we gather at the beach, symbolically toss our sins into the Gulf, and then relax and visit together over a potluck feast as the day ends and the New Year begins.

Hanukkah Happening

The Friday night of Hanukkah wouldn’t be Hanukkah without a full evening of activities starting with the Wine Gathering preceding our Shabbat Family Service, which is then followed by a special Hanukkah dinner. Lighting our hanukkiyot (menorahs), singing, and dreidel spinning complete the holiday celebration.

Tot Shabbat (Birth - 5 years)

Welcome Shabbat with young families on the first Friday of select months with a short, musical, and interactive service led by Rabbi Geoff Huntting, Chazzan Cliff Abramson, and Bethany Leinweber, Director of Early Childhood Education.
