Young Families

FRIENDSHIP. TRADITION. FUN.

A Jewish community for kids age 0-5 and their families

Hey Parents: Raising young kids can be quite a roller coaster ride. A Jewish community of people who are on the same ride can sure help. YoFI is that community.

YoFI families are just like you, navigating the excitement and challenges of parenthood. YoFI is a community open to all families with children ages 0-5 where you are understood, known, and welcomed. With YoFI, you’ll connect with other Jewish families, nurture your child’s relationship with Judaism, and make meaningful memories with friends and family.

  • Grow with other Jewish families.
  • Explore and nurture the faith of children.
  • Make memories through celebration.

Hey Kids: Here’s why YoFI is cool…

  • Other Jewish kids to play with. You might find your new BFF.
  • Fun ways to pray and learn about God.
  • Lots of chances to move around and celebrate being Jewish.
  • Tons of time for grown-ups to make friends and talk about whatever grown-ups talk about. (Probably how cute we are!)

So tell your parents to get you in that car seat and get over here. And bring your older brother or sister and your grandparents. They’ll have a ton of fun too.

YOFI, OUR ACRONYM FOR YOUNG FAMILY INVOLVEMENT, IS ALSO AN INFORMAL HEBREW WORD THAT MEANS “GOOD,” “CUTE” OR “WAY TO GO!”
