Season 3, Episode 3: Animals Hebrew School

    • Judaism

The zoo comes to Hebrew school this week, as our kid contestant Orly tames three animal-themed games: “Prayer or Pop Song,” “Mah Zeh” (What’s This?), and “Tall Torah Tales!” Joining this rodeo is comedian Joel Chasnoff, storyteller Peninnah Schram, and Lenny Solomon with our house band Shlock Rock. 
The fun doesn’t stop when the episode ends. The Jewish Education Project has created additional games and activities for families, as well as resources for educators to use our podcast in the classroom.
