 * Beth Sholom Congregation, Elkins Park, PA**

The Beth Sholom Shabbat Experience (TSE), brings school families together with the larger congregational community on one Shabbat each month. These Shabbatot include prayer components, meals, and are anchored by a piece of enduring knowledge. The whole synagogue community joins to study the same content at age appropriate levels in concurrent sessions, based on a year-long theme. Each family is given a book for their home library with a bookmark of pre- and post- reading assignments on the monthly topic. Each participant or family leaves the TSE with a 'take-home' that connects the enduring knowledge to the home.
