Making ‘Menschkins’ at Columbia Jewish Congregation with Stacey Freedman

Columbia Jewish Congregation went a while without having a director of its youth-focused programming. It also lacked a Tot Shabbat program. Recently, though, all that has changed with the introduction of the synagogue’s new Menschkins program for families with children aged 6 and under — and the introduction of the new director of youth and family engagement who took on the position this summer, Stacey Freedman.

Freedman brings with her 30 years of experience creating programs for children as a former teacher and children’s librarian. Outside of her CJC-related work, she serves as the children’s instruction and research supervisor at the Howard County Library System.  click here for full story
