Dor Chadash is a group of supportive, fun families who believe in getting children integrated into synagogue life early. Through amazing social and religious activities, we get little ones excited about Jewish home life, holidays and community work. Whether it's through our welcoming High Holy Days services or our uber-casual
Erev Shabbat programs, Dor Chadash brings together young families who bond over the beautiful – and at times challenging - efforts of creating a Jewish life for young children, toddlers and babies.We host incredible, music-filled (and free!) parties that will get little Yiddish tushies dancing. We also organize age-appropriate community service programs and a few events just for the grown-ups, including a thought-provoking speaker series for parents.

Dor Chadash is a great way to make a large synagogue feel like a small community.
We welcome all families with young children, so come introduce yourself at one of our upcoming events!
