C

ongregation B’nai Moshe 
held its opening Rockin’ 
Tots program on Sunday, 
Jan. 15 and it was a Rockin’ Success! 
 
 This enrichment program for 
children ages 5 and under brought 
a room full of children, along with 
their parents and grandparents, to 
the West Bloomfield synagogue for 
a fun hour of circle time, singing, 

crafts and snacks.
Led by preschool teacher Susie 
Olson-Bitnias, the children were 
engaged and when the hour had 
passed, they did not want to leave. 
B’nai Moshe is planning its next 
Rockin’ Tots event for a Sunday in 
February or March, so keep your 
eyes on its website, www.bnaimoshe.
org, for the date.
