The Website for Children's Service Leaders
brought to you by the
United Synagogue Agency for Jewish Education

How to use this site

1. The format of children's services for different age groups
   
   
   
2. The prayers we recommend.
   (Note: this is a read-only Word file.)
   
   
   
3. Weekly programmes & Festivals
   For each week or festival a grid will show you a Middah/Jewish Value and Activity for the three age groups. These are only our recommendations. You may have different age groups, or choose to 'mix and match' activities to suit your particular circumstances. Activities may refer directly to the middah/value or the parashah as a whole.
   
   Next to some of the text you will see a symbol:
   
   

   	This means we have taken the story or activity from a website
   	This means we have taken the story or activity from a book.

   
   Sources are listed under "webography" or "bibliography".
   
   
   
4. We want you to send us your feedback plus any new ideas which worked for you. We will share the best on the website next year, with attribution, of course! Remember to tell us with which age group you used them.
   
   Please only send original work and ideas. If you wish to send the work of others, prior permission must be obtained from the authors.
   
   
   
5. We've included a guide to printing out background colours and frames to make your printed copies easy and attractive to use
