Families
Helping to make your parenting journey an enriching and joyful Jewish experience
Connecting families who have young children is at the heart of The Network. Whether through community gatherings, small group get togethers or access to Jewish resources, there are countless opportunities to get involved.
Parent Connectors
Parent Connectors play a key role in driving family engagement. They get to know parents personally and bring families together—whether they live in the same neighborhood, share similar interests, or have children in the same preschool, day school or synagogue. Our Parent Connectors can’t wait to meet you and your family!
