At Temple Judea, the whole family gets involved! Come enjoy one of the many informal Jewish learning experiences that we host throughout the year.

Here, Jewish learning is not just for kids and Judaism is not a “drop off” activity! Our clergy and staff walk alongside the entire family on their Jewish journey. To make sure there is something for everyone, our Youth and Family team organizes celebrations, activities, and social opportunities for all of our families, with children of all ages. Please join us at one - or all - of these fun, spiritual, uplifting events!

We're excited for the whole suite of youth and family programming that are in the works for the coming year!
