Are you a grandparent wondering about your evolving role in your family?
Do you strive to build a strong relationship with your grandchildren? Want to share Jewish values and instill Jewish pride in them? Looking to communicate more openly with your adult children?

Beth Emet proudly sponsors the Peaceful Grandparent Project, an Orot Peaceful Family initiative. This program offers tools to deepen family connections and bring sacredness and tranquility to family moments, all rooted in ancient Jewish wisdom and mindfulness teachings.

  • Welcoming for All Grandparents: Open to all backgrounds and literacy levels with Jewish texts.
  • English Texts: All resources are provided in English, making participation easy and accessible.
