Pretty much every Friday morning at 92Y, Karina Zilberman – our very own “Jewish Mary Poppins” – is surrounded by little ones and their parents for 92Y Shababa – a Jewish family get-together that is warm, welcoming, full of music, adorable kids and lots of fun. The Friday morning get together, which was born when Karina installed herself in a corner of 92Y’s lobby one Friday morning in 2007 with her guitar and her puppet pal Coco, is now a thriving community of 350+ families.
So we’re very excited to tell you that Karina was just named as a winner of this year’s Covenant Foundation Award for Excellence in Jewish Education. If you want to know more about Shababa (there are even CD’s available!), check it out.
