Temple Sholom’s program lets preschoolers and caregivers learn and play together. This year, Temple Sholom of Fanwood/Scotch Plains offers a new twist on its popular
Jews Clues program. The new “Celebration Series,” which is designed for children ages 2 to 4 with a caregiver, explores holidays, stories and traditions through play, music, arts and crafts.
The second lesson of this series, “On The Doorposts of My House” will take place on Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. Sessions take place several Sunday mornings this year at Union Catholic High School in Scotch Plains. Cost is $15 per session.
“When the families arrive that morning, they go on a hunt for the three ‘Jews clues’ hidden around the room,” explains Director of Education Michelle Shapiro Abraham. “When they find the clues, they figure out together what Jewish tradition they are learning about that day.” Participants on January 8th will create mezuzahs to take home and a copy of the book “A Mezuzah on the Door” by Amy Meltzer.
All families are welcome to participate in this exceptional program. Temple membership or any previous knowledge of Judaism is not required. The Jews Clues Celebration Series offers a wonderful way to get to know other young families while gaining tools to bring Judaism into your home.
