So excited to have started another year in Omanut (my 5th!! wow!) and I was so happy to meet new families, see familiar faces and welcome another group of 3rd and 4th grade Jewish artists to Omanut. This year we will be focusing on Ancient Israel, God and Torah (specifically the stories of Genesis) as well as incorporating the Jewish values that we all hold so dear to help make every child a Mensch! It takes a village, as they say, and at JQuest we will be weaving the makings of a mensch into our curriculum throughout the school year.
Unfamiliar with the term? Here is a link to a fabulous film spotlighting what being a mensch is all about.
This year will be filled with lots of creative exploration, a visit to the Contemporary Jewish Museum later in the year, and even some pop up art installations on the Temple Isaiah campus!
I'll be updating this blog frequently so please make sure to subscribe, and let me know what your thoughts are!
All the best for a wonderful year,
Heather
