Y Parent: Parenting with a Jewish Twist

Programs Families with Children 8 & Under

Y Parent creates programs exploring parenting with a Jewish twist. Designed for Jewish and interfaith/Jewish plus families with children 8 and under, we provide opportunities to build connections, learn together, and explore Jewish culture in a welcoming environment.

Through interactive events and programs—including Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, challah bakes, play gatherings, book talks, cultural outings, and parenting workshops—Y Parent offers enriching experiences for young children and the parents raising them. Whether you’re looking to share Jewish traditions with your family, meet other parents, or simply enjoy quality time together, Y Parent is here to support and celebrate your parenting journey.

Join us and discover the joy of Jewish life—together!
