Geared for ages 8 through bnei mitzvah. Our goal is to pattern the service loosely after Solomon Schechter's tefilla. It will be conducted all in Hebrew and will be filled with song. It will follow a typical Shacharit format, and will also have Torah reading (although from a Tikkun, not a Torah). Children can lead "Aniim Zmirot" or "Adon Olam" or can lead Shacharit or chant Torah. Isaac and Michael will be contacting each of the children to give them assignments in advance.
