Mensch-ify is an alternative learning program that is held twice a month for families with children in Pre-K to 6th grade. It is a developmentally appropriate program, built upon the parent-child co-learning experience, that combines stories, songs, art, movement, and play to provide families with the tools they need to live a Jewish life that works for them.

Teachers work collaboratively as researchers, guiding and following the interests of the children and making their work visible through many forms of documentation at the Saul and Carole Zabar Nursery School at The JCC in Manhattan.

Picturing Israel: History, Heritage and Homeland is a new resource for 5th-12th grade learners providing a unique pedagogy combining images by renowned photographer, Zion Ozeri with traditional Jewish texts to explore Jewish Peoplehood and the Jewish People's connection to the land of Israel.
