Sisterhood is sponsoring a 4-part speaker series focused on raising Jewish kids in these challenging times. For parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone with kids in their lives, each session will explore a facet of how to support and nurture the Jewishness in our children. During the one-hour session, each speaker will be providing insights on the topic as well as discussion and time for Q&A.

The wider Jewish community is invited to join us! The sessions are timed so that parents with kids in religious schools across the Capital District can drop them off, join the session and still make it back in time for pick up. Come join us, grab a cup of coffee/tea, a nosh and a seat for what will be informative and fascinating discussions.

Save the dates and plan on join us in person at Beth Emeth on the following Sunday mornings at 10:00 am:
