Starting with Aleph: A Jewish Learning Pop-Up Network
About this Network:
Are you new to Jewish education and eager to bring its richness into your early childhood classroom?
Starting with Aleph is a welcoming workshop series designed especially for early childhood educators who are just beginning their journey into Jewish learning.
No prior knowledge is necessary!
