About Me:
I'm not quite Jewish - I come from a christian background with uncertain Jewish ancestry. I started looking into different streams of Judaism with a view to converting a few years ago. 3 years ago I took a 'karaite vow', pledging myself to the Jewish people. I dabbled in the messianic sphere for a while, trying to combine the two, but have finally decided I'm not sure I actually believe anything at all! So I'm no longer 'religious' but I try to be spiritual. I really like Jewish values and I'm very interested in Tikkun Olam. As a family we continue to be very interested in Jewish culture and Israel and continue to learn, whilst still maintaining friendly links with my christian friends and heritage. I consider myself "Jew-ish" and haven't ruled out formal conversion. I also have links to Sweden, and I homeschool my 4 children ages 12, 8, 6 and almost 5 in the UK. I'm mostly vegetarian, into attachment parenting, and a bit of a hippy (as well as a bit of a Trekkie!).

Thank you for the first big laugh of the day! I LOVE the Paddington video. However, I remain a purist: I shun the squeezy container in favor of the old-fashioned glass jar. I just wish I could think of something to do with all the empties in the basement....

Shoshana, I said I'd let you know asap when www.JewishEveryday.com had new stuff, so here I am. There is now a whole page on "Making Bedtime Jewish." The page and the whole site are really geared towards people with very young kids, but you might find something useful. Your comments would be very valuable.
Do you know about BabaGanewz for your older kids? It's a cool site and it has a Parents page, too. My daughter is now old enough for JVibe, which is for high-schoolers (or precocious bar/bat mitzvah ages and up). Holler if you can't find them online.

Hanukkah Lapbook

Jewish themed pre-prepared lapbook e-book template packs are available from Elana in Israel from her blog

Naaseh v'Nilmad

including a fabulous Hanukkah lapbook.

They are also available through CurrClick which is an e-book retailer for homeschool, but they're slightly less expensive if you order direct from the blog.

Enjoy!

Ikea - Please Read (x-posted)

For the past four weeks, a group of home educating mums and their children have been meeting up for coffee and quiet play at Ikea. Ikea seemed to be an ideal choice: a large, almost empty restaurant with large tables, and a declared child-friendly policy. An ideal indoor choice for our winter meetups (we also do a similar thing with outdoor play during the summer at various other locations around the city).

Last week, the Catering Manager 'introduced' himself to us. We thought it a little stran… Continue
