Newborn Playgroup

For infant ages 0 – 9 months.

Connect with local parents of newborns in a cozy, welcoming space where you can share the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Facilitated by a warm and experienced educator, Jen Altman of Jewish Baby Network, this interactive group weaves together Jewish rituals and everyday play while sharing the joys and oys of being a new parent.

Whether you’re looking to build community, explore Jewish parenting moments, or just need a soft landing spot in your week, you’re welcome here.

Registration is encouraged, though we’re always happy to welcome walk-ins. All are welcome!
