Music & Morals
| |
|
Our new Music & Morals class has gotten off to a great start at two synagogues in Westchester. Students have been discussing the relationship between Jewish values and music, and whether our values are reflected in the music to which we listen. We're quite excited to have the programming continuing through November (and not just because Michal tests out her music examples on us here at the office...) and we are thrilled by the response we've had from the students! One participant commented, "...it surprised me that there are actually important Jewish values in the songs that I listen to...I realized that many songs have values..." Areyvut now reaches more than 150 children and teens throughout the Westchester area. Check out our Event Page to check out program opportunities!

2013-2014 Bergen County Mitzvah Clown Launch
| |
|
The 2013-2014 Bergen County Mitzvah Clown Launch took place on October 13th at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh. The Areyvut Mitzvah Clowns really brightened the day for the Rockleigh's residents. This month the Mitzvah Clowns will spend some time at both CareOne in Teaneck and Bright Side Manor so make sure to keep a look out! If you're in the Riverdale area and want to give involved in Mitzvah Clowning, check out our upcoming sessions at CSAIR. This course is part of the Westchester Jewish Teen Learning Initiative coordinated by The Jewish Education project and open for teens in 8th-12th grade.
