Celebrate Family Shabbat at The Boston Synagogue

There is nothing more powerful than hearing the ancient melodies of our people sung by the voices of our children.

Join the Boston Synagogue Families, our Hebrew School students  for a Shabbat  that celebrates our shared heritage. Led by our wonderful instructor, Rafi Mayer, these services are designed to be relevant, accessible, and—most importantly—deeply enjoyable for families and kids.

• 6:30 PM: We begin with a family-friendly service. Rafi will guide the children as they step into their roles as ritual leaders, helping to bring the prayers and songs of our ancestors to life. Services are free to attend.
• Dinner follows services: The joy continues at the table! Following the service, we’ll share a kid friendly food and adult dinner and beverages.    It’s a time to relax, connect with other Jewish families and experience the simple beauty of being part of the downtown, Boston, Jewish community. Reservations and tickets required for dinner.

10:00 AM: Shabbat morning service is a special moment for our kids and families to lead  the prayers they’ve been learning, exploring Torah stories and the sacred rhythms of Shabbat morning together.

Festive Kiddush follows services.

• Led by Kids and families. This isn't just a "kids' service"—it’s a community celebration where the children invite us all into the joy of tradition.
• Raffi’s, The Boston Synagogues’s Hebrew School teacher, musical and educational background ensures a service that is melodic, meaningful, and easy to follow.
• A Growing Legacy: Be part of the beautiful chain of tradition being handed down from generation to generation in a way that feels fresh and fun.
