Creative Projects & Community Showcase

Offer formats (art, comic, recording, poem); help each child choose.

Children wonder and discover; you facilitate more than you lecture.

• How can I turn my family’s story into something creative to share?
• What does my story add to our community’s story?

Children translate their interviews into a creative project and present them. The showcase makes the whole congregation’s diversity visible and celebrated.

• Y’tzirah — creation/artwork
• Kehillah — community

“What if my story is private?”

Children choose what to share; everyone controls their own story.

• Children synthesize interview information into a creative form.
• Children present at a community showcase.

Offer many formats so every learner can shine; let children set their own sharing boundaries.

Folktale. The Storyteller’s Bag (Folklore) — every person carries a bag of stories worth telling.

Changemaker. Anne Frank — a young writer whose words outlived the Holocaust and reached the whole world.

Whose story are you sharing, and how will you tell it so others truly hear it?

“Join us at the Community Showcase to see your child present your family’s story — a celebration of who we all are.”
