Shalom Play is a joyful, donation-based play program for children under 5 from families raising Jewish children, hosted by the teachers of Gan Avraham Preschool at Temple Beth Abraham.
Our big, open playroom is full of climbers, slides, ride-on toys, and room to move — perfect for beginner walkers and speedy little menschen alike. Each week brings a special guest sharing music, yoga, or stories, and we close with a Havdalah circle for a sweet Shavua Tov (or a holiday-specific celebration when the calendar calls for it). We’re also delighted to partner with the Jewish Baby Network on select dates.
Come schmooze with other mishpuchas, let your little ones explore, and enjoy a warm kehillah. Siblings welcome, secure parking and on-site security, and you don’t need to be a TBA member to join us.
