Things to think about High Holy Days for Children at B'nai Zion Need more information about the programming for our children at B'nai ZIon this High Holy Day season?  Click here! *Please note: Snack will be served during Yom Kippur to our pre-B'nai Mitzvah children that attend child care and Jr. Congregation services.  We respect everyone's personal customs, however it is our policy not to serve food to anyone who has already taken on the obligation of B'nai Mitzvah.  Thank you! Havdallah for Yom Kippur We invite all of the children in our community to help us end Yom Kippur (Oct. 4 at 7:45 pm)with Havdallah.  Furnished with glow sticks and spice packets, they will ensure that our year continues to be sweet and filled with light and goodness.  Contact Jason Cathcart if your children will be able to participate in this meaningful part of our holy day.
