1. Wed 8:45 AM SINGIN' SHACHARIT CIRCLETIME Rm 2048 Emily Aronoff Teck This experiential workshop will model songs and strategies to engage young children with the Shacharit liturgy and themes inspired by that liturgy. Participants will be asked to discover their inner child as we pray, sing, dance, move and learn together. The focus of the workshop will be employing participants with transferable skills so that they can implement these musical, prayerful experiences with children in classroom or morning "Tot Shabbat" settings.

2. Singin’ Circletime Shacharit will expose young children to the concepts and ideas that are foundational to an understanding of a Jewish prayer service. A planned, guided set of experiences organized around listening, singing, moving, breathing and learning with the following tunes that will transmit knowledge of Judaism to the student through music. This experience is a piece of a foundation for young children or a supplement to other prayer experiences for older community members
