For families with young children, all morning services (Contemporary and Classical) will have youth options for parents and children (infant through age four) during the sermon. There will be Youth Torah services for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
*Contemporary Services lift up styles and composers in the Jewish community and bring a particularly multi-generational approach.
**Classical Services allow for clergy, choir, and congregants to celebrate and pray in meaningful, impactful services that draw from liturgy and music with heightened respect to the history of Rodeph Shalom.
