Robin Mitzcavitch, Director of Religious Exploration and Education, holds up a stuffed animal she made during the Family Religious Education Zoom on November 22, 2020. Patterns were distributed to RE families, then Robin demonstrated how to make the bear during the Zoom. While Robin read the book “Ruth and the Green Book,” children made their own bears. The protagonist in the book, Ruth, had as her backseat companion ‘Brown Bear,’ her stuffed animal friend. Ruth gave Brown Bear away; the children in RE will also be giving their bears away.
