ABOUT ZSHUK JEWISH CHILDREN ART INITIATIVE Zshuk, Jewish Children's Art Initiative is an educational program based on a progressive philosophy of education and positive artistic practices. The Initiative is made up of artists, educators, and parents, who transform the community through their cultural presence, role as mentors, and Jewish wisdom. Our goal of transformation will be accomplished through artist practices, youth art and education programs, art shows, guest artist lectures, workshops, and trips. "The genius behind Zshuk Art Initiative is that it engages with children on their own terms. Every participant in Zshuk has something special to offer and a myriad ways to express it. Zhenya Plechkina encourages her students to find creativity and meaning in a Yiddish folktale as well as in the simplest brush stroke." -Rika Gorn SHOREATON: WHATS R ISH?                                 DATE: July 27-29 LOCATION: Ventnor City, NJ (Next to AC) DAVAI SPECIAL COST: $100 (Regular $200) RSVP: di...@davaiusa.org Don't miss this summer's awesome annual weekend vacation at the Jersey Shore with your friends from DAVAI!
