Young Families

Join Us for Our Young Families Programs!

Welcome! Young Families of Alexandria and Arlington offers a place where families raising Jewish children can meet one another, celebrate together, and build community.

In addition to Shabbat and holiday programming, we offer many other opportunities for families to “do something Jewish” with friends and neighbors. Some of these events are organized by Agudas Achim and others by volunteers. All families are welcome, regardless of synagogue membership or affiliation.

Check back often for information about upcoming events and helpful resources. You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram or sign up to receive emails from Agudas Achim Young Families.

Young Families Shabbat Services – 11:00 am

Families with children birth to age five are invited to join us for this family-friendly Shabbat celebration. We gather almost every Saturday morning during the school year to celebrate Shabbat, enjoy a Torah story, and have fun with friends.

Gan Shabbat is led by Morah Fran; all other Shabbatot are led by trained Rhythm n’ Ruach instructor Ariel Michaelson.
