Early Shabbat Together

Celebrate Shabbat with joyous songs, playful puppets, and a taste of challah at the JCCSF with JBN’s Jen Altman. Designed especially for families with babies 0–36 months and their siblings, this lively gathering invites little ones and their grown-ups to share in the joy of Shabbat through music, movement and play. Connect with other families, sing along, and welcome the day of rest together in a warm, inclusive space filled with smiles and celebration.

Registration is encouraged, though we’re always happy to welcome walk-ins.

All are welcome!
