Congregation Or Atid conducts a children’s service for children ages 3 to 6 years and a Junior Congregation service for children ages 7 to 13 years on both days of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur.  Services run from approximately 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Childcare  (3 months – Grade 4)
Deadline for registration for Childcare is September 4th.

Congregation Or Atid provides a stimulating, fun and safe experience for children while adults are in the main sanctuary during the High Holidays. We also provide a snack. All children ages 3 and up will be escorted to the age-appropriate Children’s Service beginning at 10:30 AM unless otherwise specified. PLEASE send your form in NO LATER than September 4 so that we can adequately prepare for the number of children attending.

Children in Grades 5 through 7 are welcome to drop into the High Holiday Youth Lounge in the Library following Junior Congregation, where games and a light snack will be provided free of charge.

We urge you to register early so we can plan for appropriate supervision.
