Tracing Our Roots: Stories for Our Children

Tracing Our Roots was a five session journey for parents of young children to explore Jewish ancestry, family history, traditions, and the stories we want to pass down to the next generation.

Our cohort wrapped up in June, and we loved seeing these families dig into their roots and create meaningful stories to share with their children.

Testimonials

J Parent is a nice way to spend an evening with friends and learn about Judaism – culture, religion, traditions, and values. It’s been so enjoyable!

J Parent Participant

Having these events has given me the opportunity to meet other Jewish parents and create community.

Sivi A. – J Parent Participant

I didn’t expect the Torah portion piece, but the Rabbi did a nice job weaving it in. I really appreciate the language for people who aren’t Jewish but raising Jewish children.

J Parent Participant

Just an overall great time getting to spend time with parents.

David P. – J Parent Participant

I felt very welcome and had an enjoyable, thoughtful, and interesting night out.

Jen T. – J Parent Participant

It’s really nice to have the opportunity and space to connect with other Jewish parents.

J Parent Participant

These events are a great combination of educational and social. It’s a fun night out with parents in the same boat as me.

Jenni S. – J Parent Participant

I love getting a chance to invest in ourselves as parents and spend time collecting wisdom from other parents in similar situations. It’s very hard to build community as a parent with young children, and I really appreciated that this program gives me such a wonderful community.

Alon D. – J Parent Participant

We’ve loved going to the J Parent events. It’s been a great way to make and connect with friends and learn about how to bring Jewish rituals and practices into our home (in a very manageable way!) The welcoming atmosphere and community keep us coming back!
