App Description

The Shalom Explorers app was created to help build a closer-knit community among parents: you can join conversations, share photos, learn about events, and find contact info for all members.

Modeled after scouting, Shalom Explorers is a way for children to engage in Jewish education outside of the walls of an institution. Indoor and outdoor activities facilitate the exploration of Jewish values. This innovative program is for families who want to raise their children with Jewish values and traditions who may or may not be affiliated with a synagogue. Marin Shalom Explorers welcomes all Jewish and interfaith families in Marin County regardless of background or membership in any organization.

What We Do
The Shalom Explorers learning journey incorporates stories, values, and practices rooted in Jewish tradition, including stories from the Bible, the ancient rabbis, and folk tales, as well as practices such as reciting blessings of gratitude, stewarding the Earth, giving tzedakah (charity), and much more. Children get to explore their heritage through hands-on art, drama, nature, and team-building activities. Expect indoor and outdoor activites which explore Jewish values like friendship, collaboration, open-midedness, protecting the environment, community and helping others.

Learning Journey
The Shalom Explorers journey includes eight core themes. Within each theme are a variety of pre-designed Exploration Sessions that deepen the central topic through stories, hands-on activities (art, drama, nature, team-building), and At-Home Challenges. Each theme also includes suggestions for Local Opportunities.

Groups are forming now for Fall.
