Puppet show
Sunday, December 3, 2023
What do Yiddish comedy, hip hop, puppetry, and a story about love during a pandemic have in common? They’re the main ingredients in The Girl and the Water Carrier, a 40 minute musical with puppetry for all ages!
This show will be happening during Sunday school hours on Sunday, December 3rd. We will be starting the morning with a Khanike/Hanuka carnival including dreydl making, a sports activity with our friends from Camp Gilboa, and more!
The puppet show will be free for Sholem students. All members and guests are welcome.
