Monthly, tots of all ages and their families join us at Or Ami for an energetic Shabbat experience. We combine Jewish music with themed craft projects, a story and Shabbat prayers led by our rabbis. At the end we get to enjoy grape juice, Challah and delicious cookies.
Tot shabbat
Or Ami has partnerships with three synagogue preschools: Shomrei Torah Synagogue (West Hills), Temple Adat Elohim (Thousand Oaks) and Temple Judea (Tarzana). Or Ami children may attend these preschools at the member rate, without having to join these synagogues.

Jewish holidays are fun and engaging for all ages at Or Ami. In addition to celebrations at the temple, we also provide resources to celebrate at home in a meaninaful way.
Family friendly holiday celebrations
With a picture window facing the bima (pulpit) and sound piped in, our children's sanctuary provides a safe sound-proof space for young children and their parents. The Children's Sanctuary is filled with toys, books and games to enjoy anytime you are in the synagogue. Parents can comfortably feed their children in this second home.
