A Singing Swinging Seder & Haroset Making Fest

One of the great dramas of the Jewish people is the story of the exodus from Egypt. The Haggadah, our guide for the Pesach Seder, offers the possibility to teach the story through a wonderful songfest.

Of all the things on the Seder plate, Haroset, a nutty fruity mixture, is the one that we most like to eat. The Haroset symbolizes the mortar that the Israelite slaves made for bricks in Egypt, and we combine it with the Maror (bitter herbs) to lessen the bitter taste. Recipes for Haroset abound.

This program will begin with a songfest and culminate in preparing and sampling Haroset recipes from around the world.

Shavuot: Harvest and Torah

How do the giving of Torah, the story of Ruth, the Israeli wheat harvest, and dairy dishes all meet within the festival of Shavuot? By the end of this workshop you will know the answer to this and many other questions about one of the most ancient and beautiful of the Jewish holidays.

Tishrei Storytelling

Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah are a time of sincereity and commitment to Jewish values. What does it mean to be mensch? What does it mean to know how to share? Ask for forgiveness? Rescpect your piers? These questions will be visited through storytelling.

Chanuka: The festival of Lights

The story of Chanukah will be told through song and movement. This program is sure to brighten your holiday.

Hip-Hop Chanukah

Like a Hammer or a Mac-a- Bee, Break it down, let yourself go, run with a beat and find a tempo.

Hip-Hop Chanukah will take your de-light-ful poetry to the max with rhythm and holiday vibe as you are exposed to the artful creations of a Jewish hip-hop master/poet and have the opportunity to rhyme your own lines.

Purim: Masks/Puppetry

The Megillah (scroll) of Esther is filled with plots and twists, heroes and villains:
courageous and beautiful Esther, righteous Mordechai, the extravagant and foolish King Ahashverosh, feisty Vashti and, of course, despicable Haman. These characters will provide inspiration for a dramatic reenactment and the creation of puppets/masks.

Tu’Bshvat, A holiday for the Trees

Celebrate the New Year of Trees the way they do in Israel. Families will have the opportunity to pot their own plant, play Tree Tales, Paper Bag dramatics, and conduct an abbreviated Seder/Celebration where we sample special Israeli holiday fruits.
