CAJE Team

This week, as part of the Jewish Resource Specialist (JRS) Initiative, and a collaboration with our Adult Education and Growth, CAJE welcomed Dasee Berkowitz, the director of BECOMING A SOULFUL PARENT, a six week program for parents, developed by AYEKA: Center for Soulful Education. Educators who work with young children and their parents learned that often times the best parenting tips come from looking inward, and listening to our internal wisdom.

A nine year old boy named Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Hebrew School that day. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how G!D sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When Moses got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge, and in the end, all the Israelites were saved."
