Children & Family Programming
High Holy Days 5787 / 2026 at Temple Hillel B'nai Torah, West Roxbury
Bring the whole family. Kids' sounds, wiggles, and questions are part of what makes this a warm, sacred space — not a distraction from it.
From babies and toddlers through elementary-age kids and teens, there's programming designed with your family in mind.
You don't have to choose between your kids and your own High Holy Days. There's room for both.
Family Programming
Intergenerational Family Service
Grades 0–2, with grownups. Join Jon Wishnie, Rachel Shapp, and Poppy the Puppet for melodies, stories, and prayers on Rosh Hashanah morning. Stay for snack!
The Rosh Hashanah Puzzle
Ages 2 and above, with Anna Sobel of Talking Hands Theatre — part puppet show, part sing-along, part scavenger hunt! Help familiar fairy tale characters figure out what they need to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Non-members and Friends of HBT are welcome. Stay for snack and community.
Children's Services
Children's Service
