Question
I am a member of small Christian Church. We are running a Vacation Bible School where we try to create a Biblical Jewish Market Place. I would like to include a station on games Jewish children would have played during the time of Christ. Would you know a few games or where we could find the answer to this question? I would need the names of the games and the rules or description of how they were played.
Dear Aimee
Thanks for writing
The best location I could suggest would be the Jewish Educational Services of North America - they are on line I am sure, probably JESNA.org, or Google them. They have a huge library of programs and specialists.
Good luck. Sounds like fun
Rabbi Dov

| Comment | Dear Rabbi, Thank you very much for your quick and honest answer. I believe a comic strip like the one I have written about is offensive, yet we do have to honor first admendment rights of others. We just need to respond!!!! | ||

Write to me with questions about Jewish customs and law, history, philosophy and tradition for answers from a Conservative perspective or conversion. I am a graduate of The Jewish Theological Seminary and a member of the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly.

In addition to general informational questions I welcome your questions about programs for social action, outreach to dual-faith families, inter-faith clergy projects, healing services, education for conversion, adult education for the congregation and the community. If you have questions about Informal and Formal Education I am ready to share my extensive experience with Youth Activities, Camping and Religious School/Hebrew High School on a congregational, community and national/international level.

I have served on the National Youth Commission for more than 25 years and serve on the Boards of the Conservative Zionist movement MERCAZ and the World Council of Synagogues. I have always dual-families and taught candidates for conversion with a great sense of fulfillment. I am very proud of 25 years on the Jewish camping staff of Camps Ramah. My greatest source of pride is my family! Ask me about them, please!:-)
