High Holy Day Youth Programming & Volunteer Opportunities for                    Children & Adults 

The High Holy Days at Sinai provide an opportunity for meaningful participation at all ages. During services, your children should be seated with you or in our youth programming at all times.

Yom Kippur - Saturday, October 12th, 2023 at 9:30 AM 

Itsy Bitsy Sinai Babysitting Ages 6 months - 3 years

Congregation Sinai is happy to offer free Babysitting for 6 months - 3 years old for the following services:

• Rosh Hashanah AM service - October 3, 9:30 AM —12:00 PM
• Yom Kippur AM service - October 12, 9:30 AM —12:00 PM  

Children will be supervised by adults and assisted by school students. Children will participate in age level activities and visit the playground (weather permitting). An allergy conscious snack will be provided. Please provide all the necessary items to make your child comfortable. You will be asked to sign your child in and provide a cell phone number of contact during the service. 

Youth Programming K4 - Grade 5

All the Children will be together.

Youth Programming Activities will include themed activities, stories and crafts, and snacks. 

• Specific to Rosh Hashanah: Making Soup for Chesed (Our Caring Community.) 

• Specific to Yom Kippur: Create items to hang and decorate the Sinai Sukkah from the harvest of our Sinai garden. 

Students in grades 6 & 7 are encouraged to attend the morning service with their parents. This is an excellent preparation for the B’nei Mitzvah learning process. 

Grades 8 & 12

We encourage students in this age group to either sit with their families for the service or volunteer with Youth Programming. These older students will have the opportunity to lead activities throughout the morning and share their knowledge of the High Holy Days. 

Teen volunteers must arrive by 9:15 AM and be prepared to be engaged with the children. Cell phones are for emergency use only. Honor Society Service hours can be awarded. 

Register below to volunteer for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or both. Walk-ins will be directed to services. 

Adult Volunteers

Adult Volunteers: We need adult volunteers to work in the classrooms for our High Holy Day Youth Programs. If you are interested, please sign up for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur or both and we will be in touch to discuss responsibilities and options. 

Register below to volunteer for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or both. 

Youth Programming & Volunteer Registration 

Soup's On!

On Rosh Hashanah, Youth Programming creates soup for our Caring Community (Chesed) to give to those in need during the year. The children wash and chop vegetables and create soup kits that are taken home with instructions to make soup and return to Sinai’s freezer. When you register for programming you will be asked about contributing a soup item such as, carrots, celery, onion, green beans, zucchini, etc. Please make your selection and bring the items with you on Rosh Hashanah.

There is no fee for Congregation Sinai’s High Holiday Youth Programming. 

You will need to register for both Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur separately.
