Tot Shabbat is a joyful, hands-on introduction to Shabbat, perfect for young children and their grown-ups. Through spirited Jewish songs, movement, storytelling, and prayer, we create a warm, welcoming space where families can connect and celebrate together. The fun begins at 11:00 am, and at noon, families are invited to join the rest of the community for kiddush.
Tot Shabbat is held in person. If you’re interested in attending, please contact us for location details.
We’re delighted to have Ari Jacobson as our beloved Tot Shabbat leader!
Ari brings boundless energy, a love of Jewish music, and years of experience as a teacher, actor, and service leader. Whether he’s guiding our JCEP students in prayer, singing in classrooms, or leading Tot Shabbat and family High Holiday services, Ari inspires joyful Jewish connection through music. He also serves as a Music Specialist at the DC JCC and has taught at schools and synagogues across the DC area and beyond.
We are so lucky to have Ari’s heart, humor, and harmony in our community.
