Upcoming Events at Skokie Valley
Tot Shabbat Launch! This Shabbat we kick off the first parent and child Tot Shabbat within the Skokie Valley/Kol Sasson community. Tot Shabbat is for children between the ages of 0-4 and each child must be accompanied by an adult. For children already in groups, we ask that you pick up your child and head upstairs. We will be meeting in the back of the social hall from 10:30-11:15 am for songs, tefillah, and fun!

We will also study the history and themes of the various prayers, along with some basics of Hebrew grammar and vocabulary. This promises to be a fun, no-pressure environment in which to learn -- and to make new friends!
