Joy and Judaism: A Parent Experience for Family Education
Through learning about and experiencing Jewish holidays, parents will reflect upon how these regular moments in Jewish time can provide a container for their and their children's’ development. This capstone addresses the needs of parents to feel educated in their role as their children’s most influential teacher of Judaism. More so, this program exists to contribute to the parents’ personal life journey towards meaning, appreciation and connection through a Jewish lens, beyond the educational role they provide for the next generation.
