Ages 3 - 4

This is a five senses curriculum that explores the subtle but concrete differences among uniquely Jewish smells, tastes, sights, sensations, and sounds, and those which are general and belong to the larger world. Students will have a rich variety of opportunities to encounter these stimuli and identify what is Jewish about each of them. As such, the curriculum aims to engage with the significant issue of early identity formation of young Jews.
