DRJC Tools and Methodologies: Multiple Modalities

On Demand

How might children grapple with their most profound human questions as part of their Jewish learning? What would it look like for that learning to grow not only Jewish literacy, but also capacities for dialogue, critical thinking, creativity, and compassion? Rabbi Rebecca Milder, Founding Director of the Institute for Jewish Enrichment, will lead an exploration of yetzirah—the use of art and creativity as a mode of deep, personal, and communal Jewish text exploration. Drawing on modalities like visual art, music, drama, and sculpture, yetzirah invites children to think and dialogue through creating, opening new pathways into Jewish ideas and themselves. Together, we’ll experience the process firsthand and unpack how it can live in your own setting.

Come play! Please bring a small collection of mixed materials—acorns, beads, metal washers, small wooden blocks, shells, toothpicks, scraps of fabric, or similar objects.

This webinar will be recorded.
