Bringing Families Together
A love for Jewish traditions starts in the home with attentive family members and fun, meaningful experiences. Families with Young Children helps to bring individual families closer and also fosters relationships between families so that our children can grow up in trusted community with one another.
Whether you are a Temple member, a Bridge Family Religion School or Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool family, or you are still considering how to integrate Judaism into your family life — if you have children aged 7 or younger, we invite you to join us.
Events and gatherings take place on both our Bellevue and Seattle campuses as well as out in the city at parks, museums, and community centers.

Friday Night Lights: A Family and Friends Shabbat
Looking for the perfect way to spend Shabbat with the kids at Temple? Friday Night Lights includes dinner, Shabbat songs, and even a few fun surprises! Join Rabbi Brett Weisman and Josh Niehaus, along with more musical guests as we sing, dance, and celebrate together.
Shalom Sprouts
Shalom Sprouts is our new program and community group for families with preschool-age little ones (3-5 years old). This includes Shalom Sprouts Sundays.
Shalom Sprouts Sundays (formerly Pre-ligious School) are designed specifically for Jewish toddlers, where every gathering is an enriching experience filled with joy, learning, and community. Little ones and their grown-ups embark on a journey of discovery through Jewish songs, stories, and playful activities.
