Music Curricula: The organization assists in building a comprehensive K-8 Jewish music program, working directly with schools to tailor programs to meet the specific needs of students and teachers. The curriculum is designed to foster a love for Jewish music and culture, emphasizing the connection between heart and music. Students develop their unique voice and expression through music. In 2024, music curricula were licensed for 12 schools in the Bay Area in 10 different organizations. They reached 130 educators and 1,500 students and parents in 40 classrooms. This year, we focused on flagship music curricula called Cousins Like Us, a musical storybook and family engagement program for preschool and school-aged children and families.

Workshops: The organization offers a variety of educational and musical workshops for all age groups.

These workshops provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the power of music in fostering connections and teamwork, and to gain insights into the philosophy. They are designed to be engaging, interactive, and fun for all participants. In 2024, the organization presented 20 workshops.
