Temple Kol Ami Torah Tots
As Temple Kol Ami eontinues to grow
so do our programs. We have had ineredi-
ble growth with our Religious Sehool and
found that we also have a great group of
ehildren that are too young to attend the
sehool. So, Kol Ami member Staeey
Constant founded Torah Tots. Torah Tots
is designed to introduee babies and tod
dlers or anyone who is too young for our
Religious sehool to the joys of Judaism
and to meet other young ehildren in the
eongregation and the eommunity. The
group eame together on September 9 to
enjoy aetivities eentered around Rosh
Hashanah, from apple print plaee mats to
felt board stories, the ehildren had their
first taste of their religious edueation. As
the morning eame to an end, giggles eould
be heard as the ehildren bonded with eaeh
other and started what will hopefully be
long term friendships eentered on their
Jewish beliefs. Please join us at the next
Torah Tots on Saturday, Oetober 14 at 10
AM. Torah Tots is held at the Steele Creek
Community Room (in the baek of the
medieal building) loeated at 13640
Steeleeroft Pkwy., Charlotte, NC 28278.
