In Raizy’s chabura, the girls learn and discuss various middot and Jewish values that can be derived from classic children storybooks. Each chabura begins with the reading of the book leading into discussions about the many lessons that can be taken from it. They delve into one specific middah, and by the end they gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for that middah, and practical tips on implementing it into their daily lives.
The girls in Raizy’s chabura are: Aviva Marmer (Brooklyn, NY), Riva Charnowitz (Woodmere, NY), Talya Miller (Silver Spring, MD), and Shoshana Sudwerts (Passaic, NJ).
What book from your childhood brings back the best memories and why?
Shoshana – The Kissing Hand, because the boy’s mother was always with him and always loved him.
Talya – Goldilocks and the Three Bears, because my sister and I used to read it together all the time when we were little.
Riva – Fancy Nancy, because it taught me to appreciate everything I have.
