The High Holy Days are a time for connection, reflection, and celebration — and there’s something for every age at Shtiebel.
From the sweetness of Rosh HaShanah to the spirit of Yom Kippur, our family programs bring the traditions of the season to life through music, creativity, ritual, and community.
Whether you’re baking honey cakes together, joining in joyful music and movement, crafting something meaningful, or sounding the shofar, these gatherings are designed to help families of all ages experience the High Holy Days in ways that are engaging, hands-on, and heartfelt.
Please note: Rosh HaShanah Family Activities take place at Shtiebel. All other High Holy Day services are held at Malvern Town Hall.
