Please join us in a circle of Jewish song and play for parents and young ones as we learn rhythm and melody through Jewish music.  During this 4 week class, you and your child will sing, do fingerplays, dance, and play instruments, all while familiarizing yourself with songs from the Jewish cultural and ritual repertoire!  Classes are designed for children age 0-3, with each child participating at their own level and in their own developmentally appropriate way. All are most welcome, regardless of religious or synagogue background or practice. This class is meant to be a joyful bridge into engagement with Jewish culture and community.  Registration includes weekly gatherings as well as access to music recordings and a song book. By the end of the series, families will learn several songs that are part of Jewish cultural and religious experience. No knowledge of Hebrew/Yiddish/Ladino/Spanish/Arabic/Russian/Amharic needed. We will all learn together.  All are welcome.

David Vitale-Wolff is an educator, parent and long time member of the Nehar Shalom Community. He has taught early childhood music in preschools and was trained in The Music Class parent/child music program.  David approaches early childhood music education with the understanding that learning music is like learning language, that all people can create music, and that participation in Jewish life is an ongoing practice of learning and discovery.
