Have you ever wondered what Mishpachton is like? Join us on Saturday, June 21st at 10:00 am at CJDS for a special session of Rise & Shine where you’ll get a preview of Mishpachton, our monthly Mensch Academy programming for Pre-K families. Every session of Mishpachton is centered around a Jewish holiday, and at our Mishpachton Taster, we will celebrate Tu B’Av together. In the Talmud, the rabbis taught that Tu B’Av was a joyous holiday in which intermarriage was allowed, so today we commemorate it as a holiday of love, a sort of Jewish Valentine’s day. After some Rise & Shine style singing, we will celebrate Tu B’Av with fun activities which explore the themes of Tu B’av; bigger kids will paint maps of their hearts to illustrate the people they love while our littlest ones will play with baby-safe paint. We hope you will join in the fun!
