Romemu welcomes you to join our variety of youth and family programs from birth to B Mitzvah to adulthood.
Shabbat Experiences for Children and Families
Seekers
Seekers provides the Jewish education our kids need to find meaningful connections to Jewish life and practice. At Romemu, all of us, including our children, are seekers. We encourage our Seekers students and families to find their own voices within the ancient and ongoing conversation of Judaism through contemplation, creativity, and community.
Seekers is a weekly program for students in Kindergarten – B Mitzvah. Meeting Saturdays 10AM–12:30PM from September to May, Seekers students spend time learning about Jewish values, such as Betzelem Elohim, Tzedek, Tikkun Olam, and Chesed, and engaging in Jewish texts through the stories of the Torah and tales of Jewish heroes throughout history. Hebrew is also woven through the Seekers curriculum with weekly lessons.
Students of all backgrounds, cultures, and gender identities are welcome. Prior Jewish education is not required to join the Seekers community.
Location: P.S. 145, The Bloomingdale School – 150 W 105th St
Sha' Boker: A Romemu Tot Shabbat
Sha’boker is Romemu’s joyful Tot Shabbat experience for children ages 5 and under and their grownups, led by Hazzan Shimon Smith, Romemu’s Music Director and Youth and Family Director.
Rooted in Romemu’s open-hearted, musical, and deeply embodied approach to Jewish life, Sha’boker invites our youngest community members into Shabbat through singing, movement, prayer, storytelling, and play.
It’s a warm, welcoming space where little ones can wiggle, dance, explore, and begin building a relationship with Jewish ritual and community, while their grownups connect with one another and experience Shabbat alongside them.
No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are and join us for a lively, meaningful Shabbat morning together.
B Mitzvah
At Romemu, we help students explore what it means to come of age in a Jewish community. We offer a program of study and exploration that is specifically tailored to your family and the strengths and talents of your child as they navigate their way through the B Mitzvah journey.
