JEWISH PARENTING

WITH RABBI SHIRA KOCH EPSTEIN

We are excited to begin to offer Jewish parenting classes! 
In our diverse community, we have many different levels of Jewish knowledge and many ways of connecting to Judaism and the Jewish community. Many of you have expressed that, as Jewish or non-Jewish parents raising Jewish children, you feel a need to increase your own knowledge and comfort level. Others have expressed a desire to explore your personal connections to or difficulties with Jewish tradition and community as adults and as parents.

To that end, we are starting to offer Jewish parenting classes at CBE on Friday mornings in March, beginning on March 12 from 9:15-10:30 am.
