Dear ,
We hope you find this important information helpful as you plan ahead for next year!

June is truly flying by. As you continue planning for the coming year, our programs are available for your community in a “choose your own adventure” format – use the programs that are the right fit for your community! Our programs include the B-Mitzvah Family Education Program for preteens and their parents and our programs for teens: Rosh Hodesh, Shevet, Tzelem, and Kulam. Whether you are planning to be in person or virtual, Moving Traditions’ programs continue to be available in online and in-person formats to meet your needs.
If we haven’t had a chance yet to connect directly, please take a few minutes to fill out this form. We hope to have the opportunity to partner with you to help our Jewish teens and preteens thrive.
Refer a Friend: Do you know any educators who might be interested in Moving Traditions programming? Refer them, and if they partner with us, we will send you a Moving Traditions T-shirt! Please email VP of Partnerships Eve Berger at [email protected] the names of your referrals, organizations and e-mail addresses, and your t-shirt size.
