A Hanukkah Gift to the Brown Hillel Community to meaningfully connect
with family for the Holidays:
The Mishpacha — High Holy Days 2020 — Interview Game!
Holidays offer unique opportunities for families to come together, celebrate, learn and receive family and cultural legacies. But this year is different. Covid19 is forcing family members apart, increasing isolation and loneliness, particularly among elders. This Interview Game serves as an antidote by safely bringing Mishpacha (Family) members close in vibrant, meaningful conversations that celebrate and foster family bonds, traditions, legacies, and love. Played safely over Zoom (or preferred video chat platform) Interview Games can be recorded and kept as cherished oral histories for life.
“The Interview Game has never been more important! It facilitates all the important stories, teachings, and love to pass from Dor l'Dor, generation to generation.” — Rabbi Tirzah Firestone.
