The Bubbe Project 

An Activity Guide to Enriching Relationships With Your Grandchildren During and After the Pandemic
 
"Life is like riding a bicycle: to keep your balance you must keep moving."  -- Albert Einstein
​​

Ask any grandmother who has been separated from her grandchildren during the pandemic what she’s missed the most, and she’ll likely say it’s not being able to hug and kiss them. As the most Covid-19 sensitive of the population, grandparents have felt a profound sense of loss and isolation from the youngest members of their families. The uncertainty of the future cannot do anything but add an additional strain. Their children and grandchildren may survive the pandemic in fine shape, but particularly with the ever-growing number of variants, they may not. It’s been a painful game we play to assure our grandchildren that the world will be alright, while at the same time quietly facing our own fears. Perhaps a better question is, “What can we do to enjoy our grandchildren and make a difference in their lives NOW, under these circumstances?”
 
The WRJ Pacific District Bubbe Project Toolkit will give you some of the tools to enjoy memorable experiences with your grandchildren, whether you’re only seeing them on Zoom or are fortunate enough to be in the same room. Some directly express Jewish values of tzedakah and chesed. Some are just for fun. Hopefully, you will use them not only to create special memories, but also to help you conceptualize your own ideas.

We hope these activities will enrich the often physically distanced relationships you are having with your grandchildren. We sincerely look forward to the day when we will be able to plant sweet kisses on chubby cheeks, wipe happy tears from little eyes, and share Shabbat and Yom Tov tables.
 
Stay well!
