Welcome! We are so glad you are joining us for our Rosh ha-Shanah JAM program for families and children! The ancient rabbis taught that the earth was created by design with a wide diversity of inhabitants, each with special qualities to contribute to the world. During Rosh ha-Shanah, we celebrate the birthday of the world, but from past to present, we still struggle to appreciate the beauty of that diversity and the special attributes that each of us brings to creation. On erev Rosh ha-Shanah, GJC invites you to enter a lush dreamscape where a storyteller, a musician, and three actors tell the story of how the sun, the moon, and the star learned to share the sky. How did the moon stop being jealous of the sun? And what did the sun learn from the star? This original story is written and narrated by Rabbi Adam Zeff and stars Raji Malik on the guitar, and Student Rabbi Maria Pulzetti along with GJC teens as the sun, moon, and star.
RSVP so we know you are coming! This program is geared towards children aged 0-6 and their older siblings and grown-ups, and enjoyed by those of any age. Don’t forget to register for the kid-friendly Rosh ha-Shanah Community Dinner that immediately follows the program! CLICK HERE for full details on the dinner!
