Tot Shabbat' Is Not 'Just' for Tots: Intergenerational Design That Brings Families Back

Sunday July 26, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

How do we design musical Shabbat services that engage multiple ages and stages and bring families back? For folks who lead these experiences for children 0-10 and their families, this workshop combines research and 25 years of practice to explore the multiple audiences in the room, why music works, and what design principles should inform your approach, based on desired impact. The session will close with modeling, music, and movement.
