Complementary Perspectives: A Camp and Congregation Hanukkah Collaboration
We collaborated with new colleagues in small group, short term, brainstorming networks arranged by The Jewish Education Project and Foundation for Jewish Camp to plan inspiring and engaging Covid era Hanukkah experiences. Educators committed to a process over three one-hour sessions, which enabled them to connect with new colleagues, fully participate in a creative thinking process, and actually develop the framework for a Covid-era Hannukah learning experience.
Open to all educators.
We met on three consecutive Mondays for one hour each from 12:30PM - 1:30PM EDT:
- October 26, 2020
- November 2, 2020
- November 9, 2020

The momentum continued after two successful collaborations between camp professionals and community-based educators (links to recordings are below). We developed creative responses to the unique challenges we face in planning for Hanukkah in the Covid era.
