We create immersive experiences and educator tools that invite children inside Jewish stories—k’ilu, as if they were there.
Tools and training for imaginative learning
K’ilu supports educators in bringing Jewish stories to life through guided imaginative play and sensory experiences designed for young children.
Theatrical experiences for families and communities
From Ark Adventures to theatrical events, K’ilu creates immersive experiences that invite families and communities inside Jewish stories together.
Strengthening educators across learning ecosystems
K’ilu partners with organizations and networks to support educators through professional development, training, and cohort-based learning.
When children and their families step inside Jewish stories—k’ilu, as if they were there—learning becomes active and shared. K’ilu helps educators and communities create experiences that make Jewish tradition something we can feel, do, and remember.
