Shalom Play, following in the footsteps of TBA’s successful Kindergym program, is a joyful, donation-based play program designed for children under 5 from families raising Jewish children—proudly sponsored by PJ Library and Temple Beth Abraham.
If you have a beginner walker or a speedy little mensch who’s climbing, running, and jumping off everything, this kvell-worthy space is for you! Our spacious, activity-filled room is packed with fun:
Come schmooze with other mishpuchas (families), let your little ones explore, and enjoy a warm kehillah (community) atmosphere. Siblings are welcome!
We offer secure parking and on-site security so you can relax while your children play.
Attendees do not need to be Temple Beth Abraham members, however, this is a wonderful opportunity to tour our grounds and learn about our onsite Jewish preschool and vibrant community.
