Gold Kippah Program
We have revamped our Gold Kippah format and structure for 2021–2022. Click here to see which prayers are in each section, and which are required to complete each level of the Gold Kippah program. Please feel free to use the audio files below or reach out to us if you need additional audio recordings that do not appear here. Once a student has completed the blue/bronze/silver/gold kippah or special prayers requirements, they will receive a special prize recognizing their hard work and dedication in leading Shabbat services.
In order to share with us that various prayers have been mastered, students are welcome to come on Shabbat mornings at 9:45 AM (15 minutes before the start of Family Minyan) or find one of us during Kiddush. In addition, Netta Asner-Minster our Shlicha would be happy to arrange a time via Zoom or phone during the week.
For any questions about Gold Kippah, please contact Netta.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
“The Gold Kippah Honor Society motivated my children to go to shul on Shabbos and has laid the groundwork for them to be future Jewish leaders.” – Bobby E.
“We loved watching our daughter learn the prayers and gain the confidence to lead them during Junior Congregation and even in the main sanctuary!”- Alan F.
“The program has been a great motivator for my two children to learn and master many different Hebrew prayers and blessings. They are especially excited when they reach a new level in the program and earn a new colored kippah.” – Bonnie A.
“We are so proud of how proficient they are becoming, and, more importantly, we love to see how proud they are of themselves with each new sticker earned and each new level attained.” – Julie B.
