Life at Schaarai Zedek is full of opportunities for children, teens, and families to celebrate, learn, and grow together. From early childhood programs to Religious School to teen leadership and youth groups, our goal is to create meaningful, joyful Jewish experiences for every stage of childhood and adolescence.
Whether you’re looking for family-friendly Shabbat options, engaging Jewish learning, or programs that help teens build confidence and friendships, you’ll find your place here.
Our youngest families enjoy hands-on holiday celebrations, play-filled Shabbat experiences, and programs that help children feel at home in Jewish life. From Tot Shabbat to holiday crafts and gatherings, these events are designed to be warm, welcoming, and easy for families with little ones.
Our Religious School offers engaging, age-appropriate Jewish learning for children from kindergarten through high school. Students explore Jewish holidays, values, culture, prayer, Hebrew, and history in a supportive and creative environment that encourages questions and curiosity.
Middle and high school students connect through our youth groups — Jr. SchZFTY and SchZFTY — offering social events, leadership opportunities, mitzvah projects, retreats, trips, and plenty of ways to make friends and build Jewish identity.
