Mommy and Me is a great introduction and transitional program into our Early Childhood Center. Classes in the Parenting Center are age-specific and geared to children 12 months to 24 months of age and their parents. No membership in Temple Tifereth Israel is required to attend any of the Parenting Center programs.
The SOVA Community Food and Resource Program provides free groceries (kosher products available) and supportive services for people in need. Volunteers pack grocery bags, stock shelves and sort donated food. Although children must be 12 and up to volunteer alone, younger children can participate along with their parents. Individuals and groups can be accomodated for either one-time or ongoing service.
