Raising Earth Connected Kids

Raising Earth Connected Kids

Description

Nature connection awakens our human nature, meets kids’ sense of adventure, and gives them an embodied way to connect to their Jewish roots. In a culture that spends so much time on screens, raising earth connected kids has never been more important. In this brand NEW class we will explore Jewish values and wisdom that are connected to the earth. We will teach fun and creative ways to engage children ages 1–7 years.

Bring home a Wilderness Torah toolkit of:

  • Songs to awaken hearts
  • Stories that inspire Jewish nature connection
  • Games that ignite play and build relationships
  • Traditional Jewish Food & Nature Blessings

Thank you to everyone who attended! Stay tuned for dates and times of the next class.

Presented in partnership with Sprout East Bay and PJ Library East Bay
