SPECIAL EVENTS

Our Jewish Book & Arts Fair is a place where kids can have fun, too! Presenting the Oliver Lapin Family Day.

Sunday, November 7th is dedicated to children grades Pre K-5th. The Macaroons will start the day in concert with their debut album Let’s Go Coconuts, with their catchy pop-rock tunes including Hurry Up and Light the Candle and Mezuzah. Children can enjoy activities throughout the day such as book readings, crafts, Mad Science and special guest appearances including storyteller, Jordan Hill and authors Karen Fisman (An Adventure in Latkaland: A Hanukkah Story) and Lauri B. Rosen (creater of Children’s Chapters) with illustrator Bill Megenhardt and their new book Pixie & Trixie Bug.

Kids will also be part of the “Global Day of Jewish Learning,” happening on November 7th. During a live broadcast of Rabbi Steinzolts finishing of his translation of the Talmud, the Jewish Federation’s Bureau of Jewish Education will be at family Day for a reading of PJ Library book Joseph Had a Little Overcoat, followed by an activity and snacks.

All activities are open to the public and are FREE (with exception of the Macaroons concert).

Family Day is endowed in loving memory of Oliver Lapin by his family. The Macaroons Concert is underwritten by the Barbara and Mark Paull Families and the Goldye M. and Samuel W. Spain Children’s Performing Arts Fund.
