Tot Shabbat includes singing, dancing, blessings and a short story told by one of the rabbis. We also hold Saturday morning Tot Shabbat services with lots of singing and dancing.

Jewish Baby Network: Beth Am and partner congregation, Kol Emeth, launched the Jewish Baby Network to connect expectant parents and new families (with babies up to age 2), to each other and to Jewish life. We do this by offering playgroups, classes, welcome bags, special events and an online forum. Over 450 families have joined the Jewish Baby Network! Participating families rave about how the program has introduced them to new friends, motivated them to incorporate Jewish traditions into their new babies' lives and provided resources to help navigate life as a new parent within the larger Jewish community.
