JEWISH ROOTS PROJECT for TK - Kinders When: Wednesdays | 3:15 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.
Duration: September 2024 - June 2025
Start Date: September 11, 2024
The Jewish Roots Project is a NEW program at Mishkon; a collaboration with ARTWELL. Every week, kiddos will alternate between process art or hands-on cooking. They’ll be fully immersed in modern Jewish culture, singing music, tasting traditional cuisine, creating meaningful art, and strengthening their connections to their roots. This is a drop-off program for TK-K kids.

Your home. A backlot studio. The Baal Shem Tov Forest in the Galilee. A golf course. The Western Wall in Jerusalem. The beach. A community synagogue in Los Angeles. Open Temple creates sacred spaces in the world surrounding us. Read what was featured in the Jewish Journal about Open Temple’s customizable B Mitzvahs.

We provide a warm, nurturing environment influenced by Jewish traditions where children can develop to their fullest potential.

We treat children as unique individuals and support, guide, and stimulate their social, emotional, spiritual, cognitive, creative, and physical growth.

What happened to my kid?
Barbara Olinger is here for you.
As children navigate these transitional ages, parents often feel approaches that have worked in the past no longer seem effective. In this group, we explore how to honor the growing need for autonomy with an existing need for intimacy/dependence.
