Date Selection

How are dates assigned?

Assignments are based on your child’s birth date within a range of 3 months before to 3 months after their 13th birthday. We take into account your child’s birth date, school, and your plans for hosting a Kiddush or celebration at the synagogue. 

What if other families requested the same dates that I did?

When several families request the same date and time, the proximity of the child’s birthdate to the requested date is the main criterion we use to assign the date.

What if I’m not sure if I want to host a Kiddush or party at the synagogue?

It is best to reserve the space during the assignment process; you can release the space if your plans change in the future up to 6 months before your planned usage. 

Do I have to pick 4 dates?

Yes, your selecting 4 dates will allow us to find selections for everyone. Please consider all 4 dates equally.

What if my child has special needs?

Please list any needs that your child has or any special family circumstances. The more information you provide regarding issues that your child or family has, the better we can determine your needs and ensure that the date you are assigned will be appropriate for your child and our congregation.

I like the small sanctuary. How can I have my child’s service in there?

Perlman Sanctuary is available for the Shabbat afternoon services and weekday morning services.
