JParent
An experience for parents with children ages 1-7, to explore and deepen their Jewish journey.
Introducing JParent: Inspiring the Next Generation – a vibrant new initiative funded by the Tepper Foundation, designed to help parents of young children explore and deepen their Jewish journey.




Cohort Experience
Join parents for four sessions focusing on what it means to parent through a Jewish lens. The sessions meet once a month over four months and culminate in a celebration. Each session meets on a Sunday morning from 10 am to 12 pm and includes on-site babysitting, brunch, and materials. We kindly request that you attend all four sessions, as space is limited.
