MUSIC TOGETHER®, TORAH EXPLORERS, AND MORE!

New & Improved, Torah Explorers is now Torah Explorers B’Yachad – (Together)!  Join our learning expeditions as we explore the world of Jewish Values (midot). All families with children up to age seven are welcome to learn, to play, and to grow together. Fun activities, t’fillah, and song! Torah Explorers typically meets the third Friday of every month at 5:00 PM. A light dinner will be served. Afterwards, if you and your children are still up for it, join our warm Kabbalat Shabbat services in the sanctuary! Taught by TBO’s Educational Director, Morah Esther, and by TBO’s preschool director, Sneh Patel, each month we will explore a new Jewish Value and/or holiday theme. Each month, the children will receive a new heart sticker on their Jewish Values Heart. Free and open to the pubic, but  registration is required. Discover new friends and re-discover old ones. Come along on our monthly journeys with Torah Explorers B’Yachad at Temple B’nai Or!

Please Register for the monthly Torah Explorers B’Yachad here.

We hope you enjoyed our 2022-2023 Torah Explorers programming and will join us again this year 2023-2024 for Torah Explorers B’Yachad!

As noted by program collaborator The Jewish Education Project, the weekly parent-child music classes are uniquely designed for families with young children (birth-age 5) using the internationally recognized Music Together early childhood music education program, enriched with Jewish songs and activities. Each week, a community of families comes together to sing, dance, and play in a class led by a trained Music Together teacher with a Jewish background. The music in a Sing Shalom class includes your favorite multi-cultural traditional and original Music Together songs, supplemented with a new Jewish repertoire. This new Jewish collection of songs combines familiar (and not so familiar) songs that help parents introduce a rich Jewish heritage to their children and each semester (Fall, Winter, Spring) features a new set of supplemental songs. 

Families will learn lots of ways to interact musically with their child, while supporting their development, strengthening family relationships, and helping them connect with the Jewish music tradition. Parents value the high quality music class with the opportunity to expose their children to Jewish music and culture through songs and activities. 

All families in Sing Shalom classes receive the Music Together song collection materials for that semester (book, CD, download code) PLUS the  online playlist of Sing Shalom songs! 

Music Together Sing Shalom classes are offered in partnership with Music Together Temple B’nai Or and are an exclusive offering of Music Together in collaboration with The Jewish Education Project.
