Make, Create, Celebrate: Jewish Holidays Through Art

By Julie Schwartz Wohl and Behrman House

Paint, perform, and doodle your way through the Jewish holidays

Guide your students through a process of unlocking the meaning of each holiday and its values through artistic projects and concepts.

Make a drawing in response to hearing the shofar; create a nature collage for Tu BiShevat; act out the movement of a lulav.

Make, Create, Celebrate uses art as a way to help students connect with the underlying values of the holidays in a personal way, free from explaining the how-tos of each holiday.
