 * The Kavana Cooperative, Seattle WA**

Our Legacy Heritage Project consists of two cornerstone programs - Prep & Practice, and Family Shabbat. Here are links to the webpages for each program, which have much more information: [|Prep & Practice], [|Family Shabbat].

__1. Publicity & Marketing Materials__

Our main forms of mass communication are:

(a) our website ([|www.kavana.org]), which has a special section for Family Education ([]), and (b) our weekly email newsletter, which lists news and events, and links back to the website for details.

__2. Educational Materials__

Our educational programs tend to be hands-on projects, or comprised of materials which don't translate well into written form (like massive posters which have Shabbat prayers on them, songs, dances, crafts and games, etc.), but we do have a handbook and a series of lesson plans:

(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g)

__3. Materials Relating to Systemic Congregational Change__

We are proud of our success in taking what families have learned at Prep & Practice and Family Shabbat, and expanding it so that it becomes an integral (and integrated) part of Kavana's community life.

For example, the overwhelming majority of families who participated in Family Shabbat also participated in our [|Home Hospitality Shabbat] program (like a dinner exchange program for families) which was extremely well received (and is something we'll continue in 2009-2010). Similarly, almost everyone at our Passover Prep & Practice also participated in our [|Home Hospitality Seders].
