WELCOME TO THE JEWISH EDUCATION BRAINSTORMING BLOG!

This is a forum for Jewish educators to share ideas and materials for congregational schools. You can go to my website, jewishplays.com, to access free pdf files of puppet shows and songs I have written. I will be adding other curriculum materials throughout the year.

My first topic is this:
How are you going to deal with teaching the upcoming High Holidays?

We won't even be starting classes until September 12. We are a Sunday only (for three hours) school. I think we will do a quick intro to the High Holidays that day, maybe making cards, and then do Sukkot the following week, making decorations for our Sukkah, and just not spend a lot of time on Tishrei holidays this year.

Access a Yom Kippur song here!

I'm looking forward to reading your responses. Shana tova!
