Makom Nature Registration

Get your hands dirty. Learn something ancient with a Jewish twist. Like learning by doing? Then this program is for you. Here's something most people don't think about — thousands of years ago Jewish people weren't sitting at desks. They were outside. Hands in the dirt. Weaving. Sewing. Planting. Harvesting. Getting to know the outside world. When Jewish wisdom invited them to save a corner of their field for the poor — they didn't just think about it. They walked outside and did it. We are excited to bring this ancient wisdom to life! In Makom Nature, kids connect to nature and Jewish values by doing. Planting seeds. Felting wool. Making food. We're bringing the stories off the page and into their hands. Can you imagine participating in the same practices as your great grandparents? Or how about making your own Jewish ritual objects? The goal isn't to imitate, its to innovate, with a deep understand and appreciation for our past, present and future. And here's the best part — because the whole curriculum is hands-on and craft-based, your child comes home every week with something they made. New skills. New knowledge. And something cool to show you at the dinner table. The semester wraps up with a Hanukkah celebration — a chance for the kids to share everything they've learned, made, and discovered together. 🕎 What you'll do: ✦ Learn hands-on skills rooted in Jewish tradition — the way our ancestors actually lived it ✦ Take home crafts and creations connected to the weekly Torah portion ✦ Plant, build, weave, cook, and create with your own two hands ✦ Connect with other Jewish kids who'd rather make something than sit still ✦ Build a deeper connection to your Jewish identity — one you can actually feel ✦ Celebrate it all at the end-of-semester Hanukkah celebration Judaism can be found in your backyard The Details: Semester 1: October 5th – December 7th 3:30– 6:00 PM Ages | 6–12 Location | The
