Temple Emanu-El families were thankful for family and friends during the Thanksgiving Tot Shabbat on Nov. 11. 

Rabbi Michael Shefrin welcomed families to the events where they spoke to what they were thankful and sang together in celebration. Children received special goodie bags that had Thanksgiving toys and accessories. The program ended with the reopening of the temple's playground.
