11:30 am - Sheryl Haft presents Goodnight Bubbala with music and a craft
This zesty parody of one of America's favorite picture books offers a very different bedtime routine: one that is full of family exuberance and love. Instead of whispers of "hush," this bedtime includes dancing and kvelling, and of course, noshing--because this little bunny is a Jewish bunny, and this joyous book celebrates the Jewish values of cherishing your loved ones, expressing gratitude, and being generous.

At the turn of the 20th century, Gittel and her mother are leaving “The Old Country” to come to America in search of a better life. But the health inspector says Gittel’s mother is not well enough to travel, so Gittel must go alone. The ship is so big and nine-year-old Gittel is so small. How can she leave everything behind, cross an entire ocean, and start a new life all on her own? Based on the author’s family history, the book portrays the courage and resilience of a young Jewish girl.
