What is Chaverim?

Chaverim is a fun (and free) way to explore Judaism with your kids and grandkids. We read books about the holidays and explore the rhythms of the Jewish calendar, practice prayers, and learn some Hebrew words and letters of the alphabet. We discuss what the holidays, rituals, and prayers mean to each of us, and talk about what it means to be Jewish. We do crafts, music, and games and always celebrate Shabbat by lighting candles, eating challah, and having grape juice. Activities are geared towards children ages 2-7 and a grownup/family member has to come along. Younger/older children and siblings are also welcome to participate.
