B'nei Mitzvah at Kol Sasson
Kol Sasson is a very special place to celebrate a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. B'nei Mitzvah are invited to read Torah and/or Haftarah and to give a d'var torah in shul. In addition, boys have the opportunity to lead Shacharit or Mussaf while girls have the opportunity to lead the Torah Service. Our B'nei Mitzvah are warmly encouraged to continue reading Torah and participating in leading services during their teen years.
For those interested in celebrating B’nei Mitzvah with Kol Sasson, please contact our B’nei Mitzvah Coordinator, Judy Sloane, at least 6 months prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Kids at Kol Sasson
Kol Sasson is a family-friendly shul with kids of all ages. Our children's programming and babysitting is led by Ariel Wogel (youthg@kolsasson.org) and is co-sponsored by our partners at Skokie Valley. We also have a private nursing area adjacent to the women's section in order to welcome nursing mothers to participate in our davening.
SKIP: Send a Kid to Israel
Kol Sasson partners with the Jewish United Fund to support a savings program that will assist young members of our congregation in participating in an Israel experience of their choice.
Students in 3rd through 6th grade are eligible to enroll in SKIP; families are eligible to contribute to their children's SKIP account for a maximum of 7 years (3rd through 9th grade).
Each year that a student is eligible to participate, a total of $255 is added to the student's savings account. This money includes an annual contribution of $85 from JUF and, $25 from Kol Sasson, and the remainder from the family.
If you would like to sign up, please use the New Participation Agreement form, using $25 for congregation and $145 for family. To make your annual contribution, please choose SKIP on the dropdown on the KS website. If you have questions, please contact Norman Eliaser.
