What's On
We are delighted to welcome children and families throughout the High Holy Days with a wonderful program of children’s services and activities. From our youngest members through to teens, we have meaningful and engaging experiences for ages 0–17 across both days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Children aged 0–5 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. We look forward to sharing the High Holy Days with you.
Volunteering
If you are able to support this community initiative, please indicate your availability on the registration form. This opportunity to volunteer for HHD 2026 is open to all interested members (not just parents). Please note that anyone assisting with children’s programming will need to hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).
Food
Refreshments will vary throughout the High Holy Days. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch, and you will be responsible for storing the food and serving it to your child. Any food brought onto campus must be meat-free and nut-free.
Child Safety
At Emanuel Synagogue, we are deeply committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children on our campus. In our youth programs, we aim to create a secure, nurturing environment where every child can learn about their heritage, connect with their culture, grow as Jewish young people, and thrive in this world. Our rigorous child protection policies are designed to safeguard against any form of abuse or neglect, ensuring that all staff and volunteers undergo working with children checks and receive ongoing training. We actively encourage open communication from our community, and maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any behaviour that compromises the safety of our young members. Together, we strive to foster a community where every child is protected, valued, and empowered.
