Also available en ESPAÑOL Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Applecast or on Spotify My favorite takeaways: 🌟 Judaism can exist in a contemporary medium. Rabbi and sages for ages have been filling in the blanks in Jewish texts with story, poems, and songs. 🌟 Rap is a from of music from the hip hop culture. It doesn’t matter whether you have a “pretty” voice or if you know how to sing. Use the words and follow the beat. 🌟 Show kids what you’ve got, your authority in your area, and then invite them to join in. Show them how they can do it. Let them be the stars. It’s even a more powerful experience. What was your favorite takaway? Share with us below! Find Matt at @rappersandrabbis (IG and FB) https://www.rappersandrabbis.com/

My favorite takeaways:

The book Evelyn mentioned about is Heme Aqui, Here I Am: My Reconciliation with Life by Nora Lelczuk Goldfinger. You can get it here.

Multi award-winning author Nancy Churnin empowers children through her picture books. She shares stories of unsung heroes, including modern Queen Esther Eliza Davis. What a treat to have Nancy here at Raising Jewish Kids with Ms. Eve 🌟!

This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️

Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL

Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Applecast, Spotify, and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

My favorite takeaways:

🌟 A book can be a conversation started for difficult topics. Often times we want to avoid hurtful subjects with kids, but it’s hard to shield children from things they see in their everyday lives or on social media. A book can be empowering. Pictures add to the story and compliment the words, while give visual learners to another entry point.

🌟 Life is all about new things. Do the things that you are a little afraid of. Life is about growing and stretching.

🌟 Eliza was an ordinary woman. But she had the same tools that Charles Dickens had: a pen, a paper, and something to say. And so do you!

Actor and educator Andrew Davies, co-funder of The Bible Players walks through the magic of improvisational theatre and how to apply it to Purim and all year-round. Join us in this upbeat chat and learn with Andrew and Ms. Eve 3 new improv games.

This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers.

Find Ms. Eve's Purim script and on demand show at www.shalomeve.com/purim use discount code raisingjewishkids23

My favorite takeaways:

🌟 Theater is a place where you can be yourself and have fun. Improv (improvisation) is a great tool to share Jewish values and stories.

🌟 Sometimes we leave our Jewish identity hat (literally and figuratively) when we leave the synagogue. Improv is one of the tools to take our Jewish identity wherever we go.

🌟 One of improv’s core values is TO LISTEN (as in Judaism, Shema). Not only the words, but also the tone. Also, we do improv together. And it’s great training for everyday life (including teaching and parenting!)

Did you try out one of Andrew’s fun improv games? How did it go?

Ladino force singer and author Sarah Aroeste joins Evelyn in talking about Ladino heritage and how to model for children being proud of our traditions

This conversation is brought to you by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ WFMH is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. Find it at www.shalomeve.com

Today’s conversation is dedicated in loving memory of my grandmother Bobe Chola Lelui Nishmat Jana Hinde bat Aron ve Java Z”L

My favorite takeaways:

🌟 There’s a wonderful Jewish diversity. Ladino is more than a language. It’s a whole vast culture that grew for a thousand years, incorporating elements (words, music, musical instruments, foods) from other cultures and also bringing its own.

🌟 Modeling joy, celebration, and appreciation for our children and for the world around us. Kids can see what you do everyday. Sarah uses elements from Ladino culture to enhance everyday life: jewellery, home decorations, food, words, etc.

🌟 Ora de despertar, time to wake up! We need to transmit our heritage and traditions to our children before it’s too late.
