Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid families are busy juggling careers, kids, financial stressors, and scheduling logistics as well as the emotional well-being of their families. Finding meaningful time to connect with others who have young children can be challenging. As parents and caregivers, we want our children to have opportunities to question, wonder, explore, and connect. Attending our Mini Mensch Academy on Sundays once a month gives everyone the opportunity to connect, inquire about and celebrate Judaism, while singing, dancing, telling stories, crafting, learning about holidays, and more! In addition, our Mini Mensch Academy is involved in Tikkun Olam – repairing the world – and empowering our children to recognize that they can make a difference through acts of kindness and family-centered social action projects.
