		Bridges of Understanding For The Very Young During this interactive program, children learn about cultures using imagination and art. Experience cultures with a trip to a Jewish wedding, an Egyptian bazaar, listening to African instruments, learning about the Japanese Tea Ceremony or celebrating Latin style at a Quinceañera birthday party. Request and schedule a program at your location for groups of five to 10 children. Ideal for play groups and pre-schools that wish to tailor the presentation to a specific culture. Programs last from half an hour to one hour. Cost is $5 per child. MazelTot discount applies to children five and under. For more information call the Mizel Museum at 303-394-9993 ext. 103 to register. MazelTot is a Rose Community Foundation grant initiative to connect young families to Jewish life and to each other. Twenty-nine Denver/ Boulder Jewish agencies and synagogues are receiving grants to offer discounts on programs for expectant parents and families with children under age five. Mazeltot.org showcases these organizations and highlights family events on a central calendar.
