Shir Chadash: Building a Vibrant Saturday Community
 
This fall, Shir Chadash is excited to launch the pilot of our new Shabbat Religious School program!

Shabbat is the heart of Jewish life - our most sacred and joyful time of the week. By gathering on Saturday mornings, children will not only learn about Judaism, but live it. They'll join in the rhythm of Shabbat services, experience its melodies and rituals, and feel a deep sense of connection to something greater than themselves.

Being present on Shabbat allows our students to:
  • Connect to sacred Jewish time in an authentic, experiential way
  • Learn the Shabbat service by participating in real time
  • Become part of the broader Shir Chadash community that gathers each week to celebrate together
Our goal is to reinvigorate Saturdays at Shir Chadash - bringing students, families, and generations together for prayer, learning, and joy.

Why Shabbat Religious School?
  • Stronger Community Connections: Children grow in an environment full of warmth, tradition, and togetherness.
  • Family Convenience: One beautiful day, one meaningful experience - Shabbat.
  • Lasting Jewish Engagement: Kids gain a deeper, lasting relationship with Judaism through real Shabbat participation.
