Supporting our youngest members

All the children at Shir Chadash are incredibly talented whether they play instruments, sports, act, create art, among other talents. We would like to support our members and congratulate them on their accomplishments throughout the year. Please send images of your children's artwork, pictures of them in action, or a short blurb about a new accomplishment to educationdirector@shirchadash.org to be featured in the next Children's Newsletter.

We would also love to support them in person. Let us know about any opportunities to see your children in a local theater production, sports tournament, or art show. We want them to know that their Shir Chadash community is behind them in all their endeavors.

Community Happenings and Opportunities

This Thursday, New Orleans teens in 7th-12th Grade are invited to participate in the JCC Tu B'Shevat Culinary Class. Make a delicious meal and celebrate the importance of local sustainable agriculture with other Jewish teens.

Israel Resources:

How to talk to your children about Israel

Shir Chadash is here for you during this time of crisis in Israel. We understand that some parents will inform their children about what is happening in Israel while others might not. If you are having trouble speaking with your children about Israel, please refer to the links below.
