In Person. Havurah’s minimesters are designed to embrace Jewish culture and traditions through interactive, project-based learning. Studying Jewish holidays, Hebrew language, Torah stories, community service opportunities, and exploration of Jewish identity are significant parts of every child’s Havurah experience. Each semester culminates in an immersive Jewish family experience to showcase their projects.

Children will delve into Jewish stories from the Torah using creative and visual arts techniques to enhance their learning experience. Utilizing the critical values and knowledge from these stories, they will be encouraged to make connections to and be inspired to connect them to their own lives. As a final project, they can write and illustrate their own personalized book based on the stories they’ve explored.

This session will end with an invitation to celebrate Jewish learning in partnership with the JCC’s Lambert Center for Arts + Ideas Books that Changed My Life Festival.
