What could be more moving than to see your Kindergarten child on the bima, singing the Shema, receiving their own miniature Torah scroll and being blessed by the Rabbis! 

Consecration marks the beginning of a child’s formal Jewish education, held on Simchat Torah, with the children leading the first hakafah (circling of the Sanctuary with Torah scrolls, flags and alot  of excitement and joy).

A formal Jewish Education can begin while your child is in pre-school or Kindergarten.  Contact Rabbi Debbie Cohen for information about the Religious School at Temple Emanuel.
