Early Childhood Jewish Learning at the "Little Shul that Could"

It is a priority of our congregation to offer programs that speak to the life and needs of every segment of the synagogue community. Ensuring that there are meaningful opportunities for Jewish enrichment and support for families with young children is a firm commitment of our congregation. Over the past nine months our early childhood committee has worked on developing programs that fit our community and families. The committee has hired a dynamic, experienced and creative educator, Sari Herson, who comes to us via Toronto where she has taught early primary grades in both Jewish and secular environments. Sari is a warm, caring and innovative teacher who comes with a deep and rich Jewish background. Please join us in welcoming Sari into the Emanu-El family and spread the word about our great new early childhood enrichment opportunities.
