DIY: Have a family mitzvah day

During this time of year, it’s so wonderful when children have the opportunity to be the light for someone else by participating in an act of kindness. Today we’re sharing a wonderful family mitzvah - children making stuffed animals for other children in the hospital. Your invited to join us at our family mitzvah day and create your own tradition of an acts of kindness day too!

DIY: Challah baby necklace

To get ready for Tu B’ Av (the Jewish Day of Love), we’re thinking of all the Jewish things we love, and one thing that makes our heart flutter is Challah on Shabbat! We love baking challah and making challah baby necklaces too - especially when they’re all wrapped up in a dainty challah cover. Come make one with us!

DIY: Seeds of happiness

I think it’s wonderful throughout the year to give children and pre-teens the opportunity to do something kind for someone else! Since we are still basking in the glow from Hanukkah, we wanted to spread the light and make DIY “Seeds of Happiness” and share these happy smiles with friends and family.

DIY: Mitzvah superhero capes

It’s fun to dress up as a superhero, but even more fun - and more special - to be a mitzvah superhero! Our cape is covered in all kinds of felt “mitzvah” stickers. Each sticker reminds us of a special way to be kind. This is an adorable activity to do with littles, so let’s go be super mitzvah heros!

DIY: Mini Challah

It’s almost the official start of winter! If you find your family spending more time indoors as the weather gets chiller (or looking for meaningful activities to do while your children are on winter break from school), it might be fun on your next Shabbat to take a break from your normal routine and do something special, like bake mini challahs for Shabbat with your children!
