St Albans & District Jewish Baby and Toddler Group
We have an active Parent and Toddler Group for all
Jewish denominations in the St Albans area. The group
meets regularly to enjoy songs, arts and crafts
activities, puzzles and games. It also provides the
opportunity for parents to meet and socialize.
SAMS Kaytana Summer Day Camp
SAMS
runs a day camp, Kaytana, each Summer in St Albans for
ages 5 to 10. This is staffed by a Rosh and a large
number of Madrichim. There is a Jewish theme, and all
education is done through fun and play. Children bring a
packed lunch This usually takes place the week before
August bank holiday at a central St Albans location.

information.
NOAM
Clubs & Camps
NOAM,
the Masorti Zionist youth movement, runs Clubs for SAMS
kids on Sunday afternoons during term time from
5:00-7:00pm at centrally located St Albans venues or at
members’ homes. We have our own Noam youth worker who
visits St Albans each Sunday for clubs, and spends one
Shabbat a month with us. All children from Years 3 to 10
(ages 8-15) are welcome to participate in Club
activities, which include Shabbat celebrations,
sleepovers, outings and more. The climax of the year is
the Summer camps which are organized each year. NOAM
Summer Camps cater for children going into Years 6 to 11
and are run in England, Spain and Israel. See the SAMS
Diary and the AMS website,

St Albans Jewish Contact Group (Friendship Circle)
Our Friendship Club of the elderly in the area meets

need of more drivers to transport our members. In
addition, a few elderly are housebound and would benefit
greatly from a home visit once in a while. If
you're able to help with driving or visiting, please
