The Youth Minyan
Your children will love coming to services!
Our Shabbos Services are traditional and are conducted in a
joyous, casual atmosphere. Children are included and most
welcome. Many of those who attend cannot read Hebrew, yet
everyone feels at home. The prayer book is Hebrew/English,
and various English readings are included in the service. Song
and commentary add meaning to the prayers and allow for
more participation.
The CAAC Youth Minyan is a structured, fun-filled program that
introduces the wonderful world of prayer to the children in a
way that will make them want to attend. It’s an interactive
experience with prayers, stories, games and their very own
Mini-Kiddush! Children earn prizes and trips for participating.
An important part of our community is the weekly Kiddush
Luncheon that follows the Shabbos morning services. It is
where friendships are created and nurtured and we celebrate
each other’s happy occasions and life cycle events.
Every Shabbos morning
from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Juniors: ages 3 - 5
older children: ages 6 - 12
Sponsoring a Kiddush is only $280.
