Foundations of Jewish Family Living

Values for parents to share with their children

Foundations of Jewish Family Living is a new curriculum for parents that provides a thought-provoking encounter with the core values of Judaism. Developed by the renowned Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, a project of the Hebrew University, the curriculum brings to life the master stories from our tradition and the profound messages they convey.

This rich learning experience for adults will provide an opportunity for you to bring the Jewish conversation home to share with your children. At a time in your family's life when your child is beginning his or her own Jewish education, Foundations of Jewish Family Living provides you with the learning, the language, and the confidence to be a teacher to your own children.

The topics to be explored include being created in God's image, welcoming guests, caring for the environment, kindness to animals, respect for parents, Jewish space, Shabbat and holidays, prayer, using words carefully, improving the world, and becoming a Jewish nation.
