hree-year-old Leah
Nurenberg didn't go to
Shabbat services just
to see friends or sing songs.
She went for a much more im-
portant reason: to carry the
Torah.
Carefully walking up and
down each row, Leah paused
at every other step so con-
gregants could touch the tiny
Torah in her arms. Then she
sat down quietly, her hands
resting in her lap. The service
continued.
A little girl carrying the
Torah is nothing out of the or-
dinary during Young Family
Services at Temple Emanu-
El. In fact, the purpose of the
services is to actively involve

children ages 2 to 7 and their
families in celebrating the
Sabbath, according to nursery
school teacher and Resource
Center coordinator Sue
Stettner.
Stettner has been involved
with the Young Family Ser-
vices since the temple im-
plemented the program in
1986. She helped adapt the
services from a similar format
used at a New Jersey
congregation.
The program includes the
basic Shabbat prayer service
with music, drama and a
message. Stettner works with
the parents' committee and
temple Rabbi Lane Steinger
to present a play or puppet
show illustrating Jewish
values in the TDrah portion of
the week.
It is the opportunity to be

close to the Torah — both
through language and, in
Leah Nurenberg's case, by ac-
tually holding it — that Stett-
ner said is one of the most im-
portant aspects of the Young
Family Services.
"One woman recently told
me she had never been so
close to the Torah," she says.
"All these years, and she
finally touched the TDrah.
She was so moved."
Song is an integral part of
the program. A recent service
included "David Melech
Yisrael" with all the hand
motions. Even a man who
hardly fit the 2- to 7-year-old
category was enthusiastical-
ly pounding the mortar and
raising the flags of the great
Temple.
