This past Monday at Mayim, Lily Shapiro joined her sisters on the Bima to lead the song, "Artik Menta Chocolate Banana!" a song all about Israeli Popsicles. The Tel Aviv class learned this song during our trip to Israel, specifically when we ate Artik Popsicles at the beach! Lily knew all the words and dance moves and all of Mayim was impressed by her ability to lead the group. As a teacher, I was glad that Lily got the experience of watching the older kids sing and enjoy the same songs and dances that she sings in the Tel Aviv class. Jewish music is a wonderful and rich part of Jewish tradition and fun songs and dances can be away for friends, siblings and families to connect even though they are in different class and have had different Jewish experiences. Way to go Lily! You have quite the dance moves!
