Join us every Friday morning for a fun and interactive, parent-child class at Temple Kol Ami’s Early Childhood Center. Mommy & Me Rock Shabbat is a wonderful opportunity for parents and tots to have fun and spend quality time together in a warm Jewish environment.

Mommy & Me Rock Shabbat is open to all moms and their children ages infant to 2 years.

Typical Mommy & Me activities include:

  • Jewish themes & songs
  • Music & movement
  • Arts & crafts
  • Interactive, developmentally-appropriate Tot Shabbat

Come meet other moms while kids learn about group dynamics and prepare for pre-school.

To welcome a sweet new year, the Jewish singles community is invited to the second annual Jew Year’s Eve Jewbilee celebration.

The 5778 celebration will be held on September 23rd at 7:30PM at the Arizona Jewish Historical Society located at 122 East Culver Street in Phoenix.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors, this is a No Cost event, so there is no excuse for singles to be sitting home!

Local organizer states, “A party like this creates connections, whether people are meeting for a long or short term relationship – soulmate – friend – or companion.  This will be a “sweet” party where you may just find your “honey!”.

All details can be found at www.jewyearsevejewbilee.com

This party will offer a fun night out where members of the Jewish singles community can gather together, meet new people, and visit with friends outside of holiday services this month.

All single Jews over age 21 years are welcome to attend. Yes, if you’re in your 20s, 30’s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70++ don’t be shy! The best way to meet people is to actually meet people!

Jew Year’s Eve Jewbile 5778 aims to deliver a quality social event with an upbeat Judaic element for the vibrant Jewish community within Arizona.

Enjoying a night of dancing, could be the very gateway toward future involvement within the various Jewish organizations around our valley!

Partygoers can enjoy drinks from the cash bar, dancing, have their photos taken, and mingle while the DJ is on the turntables encouraging guests to loosen up.
