Shavuot reminds us that children have always been at the center of our future. At Sinai, it was the children who were chosen as guarantors of the Torah. That hasn’t changed.
Today, every moment we create for children isn't just an event; it's a lasting experience. It’s an investment.

When you plan experiences that spark wonder, connection, and pride, you're not just filling a calendar; you're creating lasting memories. You're building loyalty, belonging, and the future of your community.
And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Over the years, I have seen firsthand how creative Shavuot experiences can open doors for families.
We've hosted events ranging from Shavuot Storytime & Crafts for toddlers to a full Shavuot STEM Festival featuring hands-on science experiments, ice cream making, and edible Mount Sinai building stations.
The common thread?
Families leave feeling connected to learning, Judaism, and to one another.
Why a Shavuot STEM Event Makes a Real Difference:
✅ It’s accessible: Parents and kids instantly connect with science, discovery, and hands-on family experiences—no Judaic background knowledge required.
✅ It drives emotional connection: When families experience wonder together, they create memories that are associated with your school or organization, as well as with Jewish life itself.
✅ It’s easy to deliver: A nitrogen ice cream presentation is simple to bring in. Pair it with crafts or a short Shavuot message, and you have a complete program ready to promote.
What You’re Building:
Stronger relationships with current families
A welcoming environment for prospective families
Moments that turn visitors into community members
Because when a child lights up at a Jewish experience, that joy carries forward and brings their family with them.
This Shavuot, don’t just plan another event.
Plan a moment that families will remember—and return for.
