Sing, Learn, and Listen with the PJ Library of Greater Hartford’s Tot Shabbat Hop; Fall 2013
Sing songs, learn about Shabbat and listen to stories at the
PJ Library of Greater Hartford’s Tot Shabbat Hop at various Jewish
organizations in Greater Hartford. This new program, which encourages families
with young children to visit different Jewish institutions while celebrating
Shabbat, is free and open to everyone in the community.
Geared towards families with children from birth to five
years old, the Tot Shabbat Hop will take place at local synagogues and Jewish
agencies and give children a fun Shabbat experience, with songs, prayers and PJ
Library stories. This community-wide program is part of the Big Tent Judaism
Initiative, funded by the Jewish Community Foundation, whose goal is to create
partnerships among the region’s Jewish institutions and reach out to those not
yet engaged in Jewish life in Greater Hartford.
