Providing a ‘Spiritual Tool-Box’ for Jewish Children

1. JewSTU: Kids today need a spiritual tool-box to approach life's challenges and daily decisions. JewSTU uses art as the primary tool to cultivate awareness, express it, and connect to oneself, others and beyond.  The six-week workshop, which is held at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays beginning on Oct. 15, calls for kids to use a variety of media to create artwork based on social-emotional themes rooted in Jewish wisdom. For children in grades 7-10. Free for members of the Jewish Community Center of Harrison, $72 per child for nonmembers. For more information and to register, email judyw@jcch.org. The program is funded by UJA Federation of New York, in collaboration with WJCS Jewish Healing Center & Young Israel of Scarsdale.
