Family Engagement

Throughout my career, I have designed and led programs that help children, parents, and caregivers connect with Jewish life and with one another. My work has included early childhood music and literacy, parent support groups, family learning experiences, Shabbat programs, holiday celebrations, and community-building initiatives. Selected examples include:

J-Fam Baby Playgroup

A relationship-centered community for new parents and caregivers, combining peer support, Jewish connection, and early family engagement.

Music Together: Sing Shalom

An early childhood music and family learning program integrating the Music Together curriculum with Jewish songs, stories, and traditions, helping families experience music, learning, and Jewish life together.

Special Needs Jewish Parenting Support Group

A supportive community for parents navigating disability, diagnosis, and advocacy, grounded in Jewish wisdom, shared experience, and mutual support.

Tiny Treks Teva

An outdoor Jewish family program blending nature exploration, storytelling, Jewish values, and cooperative play. Designed for young children and their families, Tiny Treks Teva fostered connection to community, the natural world, and Jewish life.

Storytime Shabbat

A joyful family experience hosted in local public libraries, combining stories, music, movement, and Jewish celebration for families with young children from diverse backgrounds.

From babies and toddlers to parents, grandparents, and multigenerational families, I love creating opportunities for people to learn, connect, celebrate, and build lasting relationships with Jewish life and community.
