My Very Own Siddur...

The Kohavim children have been busy working on a God Project over the past months. Together they have shared their ideas and questions about God: Where does God live? What does God look like? How can you talk to God? And they have used different mediums such as, water color paints, clay, and photography to represent their theories.

As our school year is coming to an end, the teachers realized we needed to culminate our investigation of God in a way that celebrates the work we have done together and enables the children to further explore their ideas. We decided to create a Siddur that captures the children's experiences thus far with God. Just like the Siddurs the children flip through in the sanctuary on Fridays, each child will get to have their own personal Siddur reflecting their questions, ideas, and experiences. Over the next few days, the children will have the opportunity to personalize their Siddur which will grow and change with them as they grow and their ideas change.
