Shalom Tiny Tutti!
2026-02-22 10:00 - 11:00 (US/Eastern) | Carmen Hall
Shalom Tiny Tutti is a joyful, music-forward live performance that introduces young children to Hebrew through song, movement, and interactive storytelling. The performance follows a familiar morning routine—waking up and getting ready to go—inviting preschoolers (and their families) to actively participate while learning simple, meaningful Hebrew words along the way. With catchy melodies, playful repetition, and opportunities to move and sing together, children build early Hebrew language skills in a way that feels natural, engaging, and fun, while also fostering a warm sense of connection and belonging to their Jewish identity.
