What's Cooking? Text Study & Jewish History
A ten session course for post-b'nai mitzvah students. Each session includes the study of a Jewish text with commentary, and learning about the historical and cultural context in which that commentator lived. The course culminates in the students creating their own commentary on a Jewish text with an awareness of their own cultural and historical context.
Shabbat Programming at Mt. Freedom Jewish Center
Being a Complete Community: Disability Awareness in the Jewish Community
I designed adult education materials for Shabbat Shalem, a project of UJC Metrowest in 2010. As a congregation, we chose to have this text study be the beginning of our journey to becoming a more welcoming community to people with disabilities and their families.
Sacred Architecture in Time: The Sabbath
I built a weekend of family education programming around Abraham Joshua Heschel's book The Sabbath for use at Mt. Freedom Jewish Center. The materials encourage participants to examine the possibilities that Shabbat holds and to experience it firsthand through the weekend-long programming.
