Join CBI Director of Education Sophie Little and Dr. Netta Avineri for a special Best Years program as we explore the exciting new L’dor V’dor Community Storytelling Project. This initiative brings our 6th and 7th grade Hesed Academy students together with senior members of our congregation to exchange stories, build connections, and strengthen Jewish identity across generations. At this event, we’ll introduce the goals of the project and share how community members can get involved. You’ll learn about the types of questions students will ask, reflect on meaningful experiences from your own life, and help us prepare for powerful intergenerational conversations that will take place later this year.
