There are so many amazing resources out there to encourage a life of love and faith with your family! Many of these are Jewish-specific (yay!), but some just make our experience of parenting and crafting easier. Enjoy taking a peek at our favorite websites, curriculum, Jewish children’s books, and arts and craft supplies!
Websites
PJ Library is one of our family’s favorite organizations. Not only do we receive amazing books for each of our children every month, their website also has so much information about Jewish holidays and values. It’s a great resource for anyone with Jewish children.
BimBam is so much fun! They produce short, cute, and informative Shaboom! videos on you tube. My kids love them. They also have a lot of information, and often videos, on Jewish values, holidays, and how-to questions.
Curriculum Books
Torah Alive! by Lorraine Posner Arcus is my go-to for teaching Torah stories in my kindergarten and first grade religious school class. I have brought many of my lessons home to share with my children. Lorraine Posner Arcus presents such informed and creative ideas.
