🌍 Teaching Tikkun Olam—the Jewish call to rep

🌍 Teaching Tikkun Olam—the Jewish call to repair the world—starts with empowering our children to see themselves as active participants in creating a better future. Music is a powerful way to bring this idea to life, making it tangible, joyful, and personal.

🎶 In this video, I’m sharing my original zipper song, Tikkun Olam, which invites kids to imagine and sing about how they can help fix the world. It’s more than just a song—it’s a tool for inspiring kindness, responsibility, and creativity.

🎶 Freedom, freedom! Let it ring! 🎶 I wrote

🎶 Freedom, freedom! Let it ring! 🎶

I wrote Let Freedom Ring this morning, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as a way to help kids connect with the powerful ideas of freedom, justice, and action. 🛎✨ Each verse ties a big concept—like consent, voting, peaceful activism, and justice—to something tangible and relatable for children.
Libby (my 5 yo is learning how to play these bells, so this morning it occurred to me that I could use them to add novelty and depth to our learning.
The bells help bring it to life, offering a literal way to “let it ring.” I’m excited to experiment with letting kids take turns ringing the bells during the song, accompanying the verses, making it interactive and meaningful!

Here’s where I’d love your input: I think the song has one verse too many. Take a look at the lyrics in the reel—if you had to pick one verse to cut, which would it be? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

This secular, timely song is perfect for classrooms, family sing-alongs, or community celebrations of MLK Day. Let’s make freedom ring—together. 💫
