    What children have to teach us with Rabbi David Paskin

    Raising Jewish kids. Special guest Rabbi David Paskin Rabbi David talks about what children have to teach us. With Evelyn “Ms. Eve” Goldfinger from @torahtron This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Applecast, Spotify, Amazon Music or on Audible. My favorite takeaways: 🌟 Learn from the kids to be spontaneous and to get unstuck. Don’t just spin dreidels… paint with dreidels!   🌟 “Wow!” is a fundamental building block of Jewish spirituality. (See A. J. Heschel Radical Amazement) 🌟 Being a futurist means you don’t react to what happens in the future. You build the future. Create a Judaism as an open source, where people have the building blocks to create heir Jewish identity. 🌟 Know where you are going. Even if you don’t know the road you are going to take. Like facing back at the back of a wagon while just watching the trees go by. “Give yourself the gift of trusting that G*d will get you where you need to go. And don’t, for a moment, stop counting the trees.” Rabbi David Paskin 🌟 Kids have questions about life, G*d, and mystery. We should allow those conversations even if there’s trepidation on our part. No one has all the answers and there are multiple perspectives. It’s a journey. What was your favorite takeaway? Share with us below!

    Unpacking our God baggage with Eliana Light

    Raising Jewish kids. Special guest Eliana Light Eliana Light talks about a unpacking our G!D-baggage and finding new ways into text and tradition. With Evelyn “Ms. Eve” Goldfinger from @torahtron This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Applecast, Spotify, Amazon Music or on Audible. My favorite takeaways: 🌟There’s a G-d journey. There’s a path beyond the “G!d Gap”. G-d is expansive. We can help students/children expand their G-d concept and connection beyond the gap. 🌟”I don’t know. Let’s explore it together” or “This is my understanding right now, but it has changed during the years” are valid answers 🌟 It’s ultimately about recognizing that there’s something greater than ourselves. A Isness, feel that presence, that ORIENTATION, and to conduct ourselves with that awareness. What was yours? Share with us below!

  6. The power of story in building Jewish Identity with Peninnah Schram & Yom Ha'Atzmaut Special

    04/25/2023

    The power of story in building Jewish Identity with Peninnah Schram & Yom Ha'Atzmaut Special

    Raising Jewish kids. Special guest Master storyteller Peninnah Schram, AKA the mother of renewal Jewish oral tradition. Peninnah Schram talks about power of story in building Jewish identity with Evelyn “Ms. Eve” Goldfinger from @torahtron We dedicate this episode to the elevation of the souls of fallen soldiers of Israel and Israeli terror victims as we commemorate Yom HaZikaron. We also express our gratitude and support to the Modern state of Israel, 75 years old since its rebirth, with over 3000 years in existence. This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or on Audible.   My favorite takeaways: 🌟 Storytelling is a dialogue, a conversation. It’s about giving and receiving. The teller, the story, and the active listener.They all shape the xperience.   🌟  Torah begins with stories rather than we Halachah (Jewish law). Why? Because through stories we learn values, ethic, traditions, customs.  Because the best thing we can give children are a sense of wonder and curiosity. When we make stories our own by listening and imagining, it is af if we were there.   🌟 The voice is a musical instrument. Nothing can replace human contact. Peninnah generously shared magnificent resources with us. Email me at torahtron@gmail.com to request your copies of: Your Personal Storytelling History; Selected Bibliography of Jewish Story and Folktale Collections; Guidelines for Storytellers. Or to get in touch with Peninnah. Thank you, Peninnah! What was your favorite takaway? Share it with us ! Lo learn more about RISE storytelling initiative, email me at torahtron@gmail.com⁠

Let your voice be heard. 🌟 Follow the rule of two feet. You don’t need to feel stuck in the same circumstances.  “If you don't like something, change it.
