Jewish Values through Stories and Art

Some of our favorite stories are filled with Jewish values. In this class, we’ll explore some important values such as Tza’ar Ba’alei Chayim (Protect Animals); Shmirat HaTeva (Protect Nature); Tikkun Olam (Repair the World); Shalom (Peace); and Kavod (Respect). In each class, we will create our own stories and artwork to reflect the ways we bring these values into our lives.

8 - 11 year olds

4 - 15 learners per meeting
