Temple Emanu-El

B’yachad Night Out
2023-07-22 17:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Temple Emanu-El Tycher Gathering Space
Temple is pleased to begin offering a parents’ night out once a month for families who have children with special needs. The program is designed for children aged 5–18 with special needs and their siblings. It will start with Havdalah and lead into activities such as parachute play, music, time in the quiet room and more. Adults are paired with each child, and a nurse is on site. The program is open to the community and is generously funded by a grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas.
If you have any questions, would like to participate or know of someone who would like to volunteer to help, please contact Shira Stevenson, Director of Small Groups and Diversity, at sstevenson@tedallas.org
