Shalom Play, following in the footsteps of TBA’s successful Kindergym program, is a joyful, donation-based play program designed for children under 5 from families raising Jewish children—proudly sponsored by PJ Library and Temple Beth Abraham.

If you have a beginner walker or a speedy little mensch who’s climbing, running, and jumping off everything, this kvell-worthy space is for you! Our spacious, activity-filled room is packed with fun:

  • Climbers, slides, rocking horses, cozy coupe cars, see-saws, fire trucks, and push cars for beginning walkers
  • A small trampoline, puzzles, a ball pit, and painting easels
  • Jewish music and stories, parachute play, singing, and a closing Havdalah circle to bring a sweet Shavua Tov or other Jewish holiday-specific activities!

Come schmooze with other mishpuchas (families), let your little ones explore, and enjoy a warm kehillah (community) atmosphere. Siblings are welcome!

We offer secure parking and on-site security so you can relax while your children play.

Attendees do not need to be Temple Beth Abraham members, however, this is a wonderful opportunity to tour our grounds and learn about our onsite Jewish preschool and vibrant community.

Registration

Pre-registration is appreciated to help us prepare, but drop-ins are welcome. B’rachot (blessings) to all who join us! Please complete a registration for each child.

Shalom Play is a pay-what-you-want program, with no minimum donation required. This is the final year of our PJ Library grant, so please consider contributing to help sustain our wonderful programs for future years.
