From family-friendly participatory experiences to childcare, Congregation B’nai Israel offers a variety of opportunities to celebrate the High Holy Days as a family.
Children & Family programs are open to our Members and Member Guests, unless otherwise noted.
BABYSITTING FOR CHILDREN AGES 1 YEAR – PRE-K
Advance registration is required and will close one week prior. While Childcare is available for children aged 1 to Pre-K, we highly encourage our Pre-K children to join Junior Congregation to experience the enriching activities and community offered by our SLJ (Religious School) team. Childcare will begin following the NCECE Children’s Service, and it will last through the end of the 11:00AM main sanctuary service.
FAMILIES WITH PRESCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
Offers families with preschool-aged children a fun, condensed worship experience of stories and prayers to inspire and teach the meaning of the High Holy Days.
Children’s Services are complimentary for Members and $54 per family per holiday for Guests of Members. Registration is required.
SERVICE AND PROGRAM FOR SLJ-ENROLLED PRE-K STUDENTS & CHILDREN IN K – 4TH GRADE
While you are worshipping in the Cohen/Friedkin Sanctuary, our younger congregants are invited to enjoy a High Holy Day experience of their own led by our SLJ (Religious School) team. They will learn about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur through an engaging prayer experience, creative art project, interesting discussion and connection with friends.
This program is open to CBI Members and $54 per family per holiday for Guests of Members only. Registration is required.

SERVICE AND PROGRAM FOR SLJ-ENROLLED PRE-K STUDENTS & CHILDREN IN K–4TH GRADE (Pre-K students not enrolled in SLJ should attend childcare)
Led by SLJ teens and staff, this alternative worship experience will feature highlights from the traditional Rosh Hashanah service followed by reverse Tashlikh as done through a beach clean. We will travel together from CBI to the beach.
ROSH HASHANAH II
Sunday, September 13 | 10:00AM
Reverse Tashlich is an innovative approach to Jewish environmental stewardship. In the ritual of Tashlich on Rosh HaShanah, we go to a body of water and symbolically cast our “sins” into the water to begin the New Year with a clean heart. With Reverse Tashlich, we’re turning symbolism into action by removing human “sin” from the water.
Reverse Tashlich provides an opportunity to come together and engage in a hands-on effort to clean up our beaches, rivers, and shorelines, removing the plastic, trash, and other debris that threaten marine ecosystems and our planet’s health.
This experience is open to CBI Members and Guests of Members with children in 2nd grade and up; siblings older and younger are invited. This interactive experience is complimentary for CBI Members and $54 per family for Guests of Members.
Registration is required to attend
