BABIES & YOUNG CHILDREN

Babes In The Wood

Calling all parents and newborns!

Babes in the Wood is a special opportunity for your child to enjoy music, dance and a Shabbat experience; it’s also a chance for parents to make new friends in a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The sessions take place every Friday morning during term-time and are led by one of two talented entertainers.

Elisheva Tatz is an occupational therapist who uses singing, musical instruments and props to explore music and rhythm, stimulating children’s sensory, physical and social development in a Jewish context.

Einav of You and Me Baby Ltd is an entertainer who helps develop your child’s natural talent for learning and language through songs and rhymes. Her sessions are a great way to introduce your child to the Hebrew language and culture. Themed sessions cover a variety of subjects including Jewish festivals and feature high-energy Israeli songs, furry friends, clackers, bubbles and more.

We then move to our Shabbat table, facilitated by Rebetzen Dina Golker.
The Shabbat table gives children the opportunity to get a taste of shabbat, with songs, rhymes, candles, grape juice, and of course, delicious challa!
