Reading a Rainbow of Values

Join us for Counting the Omer in a fun and unique way with daily values-based books and special events. Enjoy stories, connect with community, and learn together! Together we’ll have fun, build community, and complete the mitzvah of counting the omer by reading our way through the days between Passover and Shavout (Apr 13 – June 1, 2025).

Families are invited to enjoy a story and activity in the MJCCA alcove on Tuesdays from 4:30 – 6:00 pm.

Reading a Rainbow of Values is a program of the MJCCA’s Center for Jewish Experiential Education that complements Counting the Omer through books! For each day of the seven weeks, a book is listed for you to explore different values with your family. Focused on books that are likely already in your home, this program can elevate your family reading to be a meaningful time for growth and conversation. Don’t have a book? Come read it at the MJCCA in our Rainbow Library!
