In the early 90&#8217;s, when I wanted a way to merge my work as an environmental educator with my growing interest in Judaism, I pitched, developed, and ran the first season of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlemuseum.org\/Home\">Teva Learning Center<\/a>, where I could do just that. When Ella was a toddler, and I wanted her to know Jewish songs as well as she knew all the songs on her Music Together cd, I approached our local music school and helped them develop a pilot Jewish music program for babies and toddlers. Last year, after a visit to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlemuseum.org\/Home\">Eric Carle museum<\/a> on Valentine&#8217;s Day, I decided I wanted my kids to have a chance to do great art projects while exploring Jewish holiday themes. So, I wrote a grant with a local art educator and ran a series of Jewish holiday art workshops.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/homeshuling\/IMG_0032.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0032.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/86\/import\/assets_c\/2010\/10\/IMG_0032-thumb-320x426-18846.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"426\" class=\"mt-image-left\" style=\"float: left;margin: 0 20px 20px 0\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div>This will be my second year of conducting art workshops with the talented and definitely-not-cookie-cutter-art-making Lindsay Fogg Willits, at her gorgeous studio <a href=\"http:\/\/www.art-always.com\/\">Art-Always<\/a>&nbsp;in Northampton, Massachusetts. On November 21, from 1-3, we&#8217;ll be learning a little bit about hanukkah traditions, and creating beautiful hanukkah cards and window decorations out of a variety of media. I promise it will be fun. Wouldn&#8217;t you love to come join us?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The projects are appropriate for ages five through adult (really) and the charge is $25 for each parent\/child pair, with a $10 fee for each additional family member. Pre-registration is required at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.art-always.com\/\">Art-Always<\/a> website. Did I mention that these are funded in part by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation Arts and Culture Initiative? I hope so, because it&#8217;s a requirement of the grant.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hope to see some of you there!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahatma Ghandi once said, &#8220;Be the change you want to see in the world.&#8221; While I fall woefully short of fulfilling this mandate, I do tend to be the Jewish education I want to see in the world.
