Shababa
Shababa is a fun, engaging “service” for our youngest generation. All children 5 and under (and their siblings, parents, and grandparents) are welcome to experience the joy of Shabbat with dancing, singing, stories, and a chicken nugget dinner. PJs are optional! Join Rabbi Rachel Zerin in this free monthly program – part of our early childhood education.
RSVPs are not required, but are encouraged to enable us to better plan for dinner (simply click the dates below). Sponsorship opportunities are available – for just $50 you can celebrate a child’s birthday by sponsoring that month’s Shababa. To sponsor a dinner, please contact Rabbi Rachel Zerin at RZerin@bethelwh.org or (860) 233-9696.
