FamilyTree: Love And Justice

An Interactive Family Journey to Learn, Create, Share and Play in the Joy of Jewish Values

Child-centered and parent-guided, Lab/Shul’s FamilyTree: Love and Justice is a community-building experience driven by dynamic learning and shared values.

Our 2nd semester is dedicated to “Love and Justice: A Family Roadmap for Connection.” FamilyTree curates Jewish values and wisdoms to nourish our relationship to self, to others, and to the world around us. Each semester of FamilyTree can be taken independently – no need to have taken Semester 1 to join us for Semester 2!

This journey is designed for families with children ages 4-6 years old (siblings welcome!).

With Lab/Shul’s unique God-optional approach to tradition, text, and story, FamilyTree: Love and Justice is open to those who identify as Jewish, Jew-ish, and those who love them.

Here’s How It Works:

• Upon joining, families receive an artful wooden tree cut-out and a set of stick-on leaves.  
• At the top of each week, we introduce a new lesson and theme. We email you a digital package including an engaging, interactive video plus a series of family-guided conversational prompts for meal times and bedtime.  
• Throughout the week, families are encouraged to record learnings, questions, and responses to the prompts onto their leaves and attach to their FamilyTrees.
• On Sunday morning, families come together online for a 40 minute hands-on, lively session layered with storytelling, puppetry and songs to deepen the connection and to see each other’s Trees in bloom.
