Youth and Family

About

The mission of Kulanu is to be a sacred community, a kehillah kedoshah, that fosters Jewish identity formation, buildings meaningful connections, and creates a sense of joy and belonging for our youth and their families.  We believe that Judaism is not only about learning, but it is also about living. As such, all of our youth and family engagement initiatives at Shir Hadash fall under the umbrella of Kulanu Living. Our Kulanu Youth & Family programs are diverse in nature - from worship experiences to family gatherings, youth group events to programming for families with infants and toddlers.   

Kulanu Cafe (K - 6th Grade)

When our youth education program for K-6th (Kulanu Learning and Kulanu Hebrew) is in session on Sundays, we offer an open and welcoming communal space for all families to stop by, enjoy a beverage and snack, and connect together in our Kulanu Cafe! Check the calendar and stop by to join us and meet other families in the Kulanu Cafe!

SALTY (7th - 12th grade)

7th through 12th graders from Shir Hadash member families are all invited to join SALTY: Shir Hadash Adolescents Leading Teens and Youth.  It's community. It's leadership. It's friendship. It's belonging. Teens also have the opportunity to serve in leadership roles on the SALTY board, which guides the program for each year's activities. We have shul-ins, movie nights, host carnivals, do social action, have parties, and more. We are a bunch of teens who like hanging out together in a place to be understood, be supported, and feel connected.
