What is Your Family Legacy? A Family Program for 5th and 6th Grade Families
As families prepare for a Bar/Bat/B. Mitzvah, they seek ways to honor loved ones who have passed. This lesson guides parents and children in exploring family history through legacy items, incorporating memories into the service space.
Our community unites Conservative and Reform Jews, fostering connection through shared traditions. Families deepen their bonds by creating a Legacy Museum and conclude the program with Memory Jars placed on the bima to honor those who are gone.
