Jewish holiday stories include biblical themes such as Noah's Ark, Chanukah, Purim, Passover, and Tu-Bi-Shivat.

Child Participation

Children participate by either coming up as individuals to act out a story or by learning a portion of the story and then repeating that portion of the story from their seats in unison.

Puppet Backdrop— This is a time for the children to watch a short presentation using hand puppets. They will experience short music segments and jokes, and then have an opportunity to work the puppets as individual puppeteers.

Music is an integral part of each show. Children learn songs as well as listen to stories which incorporate songs. The Puppet Backdrop also includes songs with its presentation.
