Shomrei Havtacha
(Keepers of the Promise)
Jewish Family Learning for K-8 Families
Shomrei Havtacha is a workshop series for Jewish family learning. Group members, made up of parent-child dyads or triads, explore introductions to Jewish values, holidays, and acts-of-loving-kindness (g’milut chasedim) through storytelling, drama, art, poetry, music, movement, and other creative modalities.
The workshop supports an inclusive environment that subscribes to inter- and multi-faith practices and allows families to actively practice the mitzvah (commandment) of studying Torah while fulfilling a thousands-year-old promise to pass that knowledge forward m’dor l’dor (from generation to generation).
