Know Before You Go Congregational School Drop-Off Programming

We are asking our families to pre-register for our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Congregational School drop-off programming for children in pre-K (none younger than age 4)  through seventh grade. This will help us to pre-arrange classes, know who is in attendance, and where they are located.

We are also asking you to provide a cell phone number that is accessible during services in case we need to reach you. This also helps us with our security arrangements. Hundreds of children are dropped off with us while their parents/caregivers attend services and we appreciate your support as we implement this improvement.

Young Family High Holiday Services

Our Young Family Education Services are designed for parents and children to worship, sing, and pray together. We offer services for families with children aged 0–2.5 and 2.5–pre-K. No registration is required. 

About the Extended Family Service

On the mornings of Rosh Hashanah Day 1 (Saturday, September 12) and Yom Kippur (Monday, September 21), we are introducing a 90-minute Extended Family Service that creates a shared experience for PAS parents who have High Holiday tickets and children in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades (and their siblings).  

It will include the central elements of the High Holiday liturgy as well as music, the Torah service, and a sermon. Led by Rabbis Bradley Solmsen and Alexis Pinsky, it will take place in the Third Floor Chapel at 87th Street. Children may also attend youth programming. 

Families who wish to attend the services, which will be at 9:00 am and 11:00 am, must register by August 28.

Tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are also planning to attend PAS adult High Holiday services, we suggest that you register for the 9:00 am extended family service. Parents must attend the services with their children.
