Age Range: three to five and accompanying adult/s.

We can cater to toddlers as well, who may be joining their older siblings or friends in the program.

This program is offered as a series, as consistent participation helps build a sense of community among this cohort. As series participants, we assume we will see registrants each session, unless told otherwise.

Pricing & Payment Options:

Non-Partner Series Tuition: $166.
Kavana Partner Series Tuition: $105.

*Please note that the above prices are for payment by check. A 3% charge will be added if you pay by credit card.

While there are a lot of costs associated with running our youth and family programming, we never want tuition fees to be a barrier to participation. If you are unable to pay the full cost of registration, please contact info@kavana.org to come up with a plan.

We look forward to a great year of learning, growing and building community together!

Havdalah Club (25/26) (Saturday, April 25, 2026)

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Program
This special evening program for kids grades 3rd-5th (eight to 11 year olds) focuses on the inherited Jewish tradition of dialogue and debate. Over the course of a pizza dinner participants study a Jewish value - considering their personal stance and opinion. Through the dissection of Jewish text and commentary, kids become more informed, and are able to re-evaluate their opinion and relationship to that Jewish value. Considered one of our sacred youth spaces, Havdalah Club is a combination of fun, community, debate and learning all topped off with a Havdalah ritual to conclude each session. *Pizza dinner provided by Kavana.

Kabbalat Shabbat w/ Traci Marx (Friday, May 01, 2026)

Sat, 02 May 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Join with community for togetherness and soul-lifting song and prayer as we welcome in the magic of Shabbat. In this 75-minute service, led by Kohenet Traci Marx (she/they) and our amazing band of musicians, we sing and pray our way through key elements of Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv (the evening service), using traditional and new ways of engaging with the prayers. Music and poetry/guided meditation from diverse voices along with our own reflections support the deepening and elevating of our personal and collective prayers. This service aims to be feminist, inclusive, accessible, and counter-oppressive. Song sheets will be available.

No matter what is happening in your inner and outer world, you are welcome here. We know how much is happening in many of our lives as well as in our world and we acknowledge the range of experiences with which people are showing up. We offer a space, anchored in love, that aims to have many access points to joy, connection, and witness.

Join us at 6:30pm for a Schmooze and nosh (hang out and snack!) before the service begins promptly at 7:00pm.

The service is followed by kiddish and a light vegetarian potluck. We hope you’ll come and enjoy this warm and heartfelt time together. Please contact Judy Elkin if you'd like to volunteer or lead part of the service.

Grief Circle (Heart & Healing Series) (Thursday, May 07, 2026)

Fri, 08 May 2026 01:45:00 GMT

Join Kavana partner Sondra Kornblatt and Rabbi Jay for a guided process to safely touch into grief. This circle will use song, doodling and body-based, somatic practices to gently touch and release our pain within the comfort of community. In the Friday night Shabbat poem Lecha Dodi, there is a line that says “rav lach shevet b’emek ha’bacha - [too] long we have dwelled in the valley of tears.” In one way or another, many of us are dwelling in the valley of tears, holding the grief of these times - be they personal, political, environmental, or inner work. All these experiences of grief are welcome in this exploratory practice. Feel free to reach out to Sondra with any questions!

Note on grief: We recognize that at times grief can be a deep well. This community circle is a way to touch in with grief in our bodies. We ask that attendees make sure they have resources in their own lives in case they need additional care after the circle.

Cost: This program is open to all. Kavana's adult learning opportunities are generally free of charge for our partners, who help to offset the costs of operating the Kavana community by making a generous annual donation. For those who are not Kavana partners, we ask that you chip in $15 per session to help us cover program costs. Please reach out if you have any questions.

B'nai Mitzvah Cohort (2025-2026) (Wednesday, July 01, 2026)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Program:

On top of Kavana’s highly personalized process, our B’nai Mitzvah Cohort is a program designed to bring each year’s B’nai Mitzvah students and their parents into community with one another through regularly scheduled, facilitated gatherings.

The framework for our cohort is based on a teaching from Pirke Avot 1:2 (a section of the Mishnah called “Ethics of the Ancestors”) which reads: “Al shlosha devarim ha’olam omed: al ha-torah, v’al ha-avodah, v’al gemilut chasadim.” “The world stands upon these three things: upon Torah (learning), and upon prayer, and upon deeds of kindness.” These programs are scheduled approximately as follows:

Session 1 - Fall - Welcoming the new cohort and saying farewell to the old one
Session 2 - Late Fall - Torah: Dvar Torah How-to Session: Text Exploration & Writing Workshop
Session 3 - Winter - Avodah: Shabbat service led by teens from previous B’nai Mitzvah cohorts
Session 4 - Spring - Gemilut Chasadim: Mitzvah/Service Project with a partner organization

Save-the-Date: B’nai Mitzvah Cohort Gatherings:

September 7th, 2025, 10am-12pm, Wallingford Neighborhood
November 2nd, 2025, 3pm-5pm, Queen Anne Neighborhood
January 24th, 2026, 10am-12pm, Queen Anne Neighborhood
March 15th, 2026, 10am-12pm, Location TBD

At Kavana, it is our hope that the B’nai Mitzvah process will serve as a meaningful entry point into an engaged adult Jewish life. Each and every student’s ceremony and celebration at Kavana is uniquely their own, and the B’nai Mitzvah Cohort connects our families through shared joy, learning, and the key themes within this lifecycle milestone.

Registration How To:

All youth participants must be registered individually. If you're registering more than one child, please fill out separate registration forms for each.

Payment Options:
Non-Partner tuition: $3600

Kavana Partner contribution: $1200

*Please note that the price listed in this registration is for payment by check. A 3% processing fee will be added if you choose to pay by credit card.

While there are a lot of costs associated with running this program, we never want tuition fees to be a barrier to participation. If you would like to set up installments or are unable to pay the full cost of registration, please contact us and we can come up with a plan.

We look forward to a great year of learning, growing and building community together!
