SUMMARY:GJF: Tot Shabbat Train Stop: Congregation Olam Tikvah\, Fairfax
DESCRIPTION:Share Shabbat with families from the Pozez J’s Growing Jewish Families program visiting different synagogue Tot Shabbats all around Northern Virginia. This month we are joining Tot Shabbat at Olam Tikvah in Fairfax. \n\n\n\n10am the room opens for free play with service starting at 11.  Enter though the door on the left and you will be directed to the tot Shabbat room where we will be waiting! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming; there is no dress code; and no shushing if your little one can’t sit still (they are free to move about). A GJF staff person will be there to welcome you. While Tot Shabbats are designed for toddlers and preschoolers\, the whole family is invited to attend. \n\n\n\n* All are welcome. Note that this is not held in the sanctuary or with the main service.  There is an option to join the full service after Tot Shabbat if anyone would like and the synagogue tries to time it so the kids are only there for the last few songs.
