    Episode 13: Not Just Story Time: Building Meaning with Play and Parsha
    Jun 24 2025
    What if Torah study started with a dance, a question, or a cardboard box?
    In this episode, Jonathan Shmidt Chapman, educator, theater artist, and author of Let There Be Play, invites us into a world where young children don’t just hear the story of the Parsha, they experience it. We explore how he’s transforming sacred texts into playful, immersive experiences that are both joyful and deeply meaningful. If you’ve ever wondered how to bring Torah to life for young children, this conversation is a must-listen.

    Episode 12: Shifting Into Summer: Structure, Sunshine, and Sanity
    Jun 4 2025
    Summer promises sunshine, freedom and a whole lot of unpredictability. In this episode of Stream of Dreamearly, Alana is joined by clinical social worker, Rebecca Jerozolim, to explore how families can move from school year structure to summer mode without losing their minds (or their routines). They unpack how to reframe boundaries, ease parent anxieties, and foster independence in children through simple, meaningful summer shifts. From negotiating the ice cream truck to communicating with teen counselors, this episode offers real life problems and strategies for a smoother, saner summer. It’s a must listen for any parent hoping to trade the summer scramble for a season of intention and joy. Visit Rebecca's website at https://www.rebeccajerozolim.com/.
