“We’re going on a big adventure, Shabbat Shalom to you…”
Ark Adventures transforms “Tot Shabbat” into an enchanting multi-sensory journey for young children and families through original music, puppetry, theatrical design, and hands-on play.
Children and families “board” the ark and imagine sailing across the water to celebrate Shabbat together, led by a team of welcoming adventure guides and their animal friends. When the rain stops, the dove is sent out of the ark and returns with the Torah, bringing the week’s story to explore. Finally, the ark “travels back home” to find a rainbow and welcome in the new week.
Ark Adventures is a project of The K’ilu Company.
