Monthly Oseh Shalom Program for 7th and 8th Graders: What does it mean to do Jewish? Our new Oseh Shalom Cohort (“Makers of Peace”) invites older middle school students to explore one of Judaism’s core questions through making, creating, and community building. Together, students will make challah, create their own tzitzit, make music for Shabbat, and strengthen connections with one another. Along the way, we’ll explore how Jewish rituals and actions can help us become oseh shalom - makers of peace - in our communities and in the world. Students will learn about movements for justice and consider how Jewish wisdom can guide us toward building a more compassionate and peaceful future. Expect meaningful conversations, hands-on Jewish experiences, and space to explore the questions and issues that matter most to teens today.
