Meaningful learning and artistic adventure for children (early childhood through elementary) and their families.
Carefully crafted by our Director of Family Education Shira Kline along with our talented Teaching Artists and Advisory Circle, Lab/Jr. is Jewish experiential education at its best.
YOUR FAMILY BELONGS HERE. With Lab/Shul’s unique God-optional approach to tradition, text, and story, we are a community of those who identify as Jewish, Jew-ish, and everything in between. We design our children’s gatherings to include soulful prayers for the young at heart, musical interactive storytelling, and thoughtful age-appropriate learning. All families. All faiths. All welcome.
