Join Hebrew College’s Parenting Through a Jewish Lens on Zoom for a free family art time at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, May 8, with Boston artist Tova Speter
Tova will lead us in an art project to add peace, joy, and “shalom bayit” (domestic harmony) in your home during these complicated times. She will also share a second activity for you to do with your family on Shabbat as a way to add some calm amid the chaos. The art projects are inspired by two books by children’s book author and Boston native Linda Elovitz Marshall, Shh… Shh… Shabbat and Shalom Bayit: A Peaceful Home.
Note: this workshop is for all ages and requires minimal materials, all of which you can find around your house. You do not need to have read the two books in order to participate. Register below to receive list of materials.
