Judaica Lubavitch Preschool and Day School is fortunate to have Chanie Weiss as Director of Judaica. Chanie brings Judaism to the children in a most enthusiastic and fun way. At the preschool level, the children leam to identify the Hebrew letters, and eventually, read Hebrew at the conclusion of the second preschool year. Basic Jewish knowledge is taught to the children in a creative way which allows the child to ex perience Judaism in a very posi tive environment. The students in kindergarten/ first grade not only read Hebrew, but they also learn about the Torah portion of the week and its many fascinating tales. Customs and holidays are im portant features of the Judaica program. Children are encouraged to participate in the many fun ac tivities centering around the holidays. One of Chanie's creative inven tions is “Pinky the Pushke." Pinky wears a talit koton (small talit), but has a hole in his head. Pinky marches around the room and clinks when coins for charity are dropped in his head. Chanie makes her students aware of the Jewish months of the year, and has created a personalized calendar for the children to use. The calendar, which is constructed on a peg board, allows the child to identify specific dates of the month which are important. Jewish arts and crafts are vital to the experience of young chil dren. Chanie has constructed a series of Jewish artifacts which enable the children to relate to Jewish observances in a meaning ful way. Chanie uses the famed “Lam- deini” program to teach her stu dents Hebrew. The program in cludes videos and workbooks that identify letters and vowels. Jewish animated films and pup pet shows are a regular feature at the school. They include the most recent releases from Jewish Edu cation Video. Photos by Debbie Barks
