Cam Lieberson (they/them) Cam is thrilled to be joining the Kane Street Kids community in their first year as Education Director. After earning their undergraduate degree in Educational Theater from NYU, they launched into their teaching career, working in general education and arts integration roles for children of all ages. After a few years working with elementary-aged students, they taught their first year of preschool, and it was pure magic. Since then, they have been committed to working with children ages 2-5 in both general and special education settings, with a focus on cultivating a sense of joy and belonging in the classroom.

This brought them to their studies as a graduate student at Bank Street College of Education, where they earned an MSED in Early Childhood Education and Arts Integration. The joy that music, dance, storytelling, and drama have brought to their students is immeasurable, and they have continued to advocate for strong arts programs for children of all ages. During their recent years as an educator, they have dedicated their practice to developing identity and social justice work with and for young children. As a trans, nonbinary teacher, it has become important to them to see every member of their school community–children, families, faculty, and staff–feel a sense of belonging and support.

Please feel free to contact Cam any time at [email protected].

The Kane Street Kids Committee is comprised of members of Kane Street Synagogue who are parents of KSK students and alumni, and other volunteers who have experience in early childhood education. They work with the Preschool Director and Synagogue’s other senior staff towards the continued growth, enrichment and enhancement of KSK’s educational program. For more information, contact the committee chair at [email protected].

Youth & Families | Kane Street Synagogue

Shabbat

Children love to come to synagogue on Shabbat and use the skills they have learned during the week either in Hebrew School or Day School. They are able to shine in the children’s services, by taking part in leading their peers in prayer, demonstrating their growth in Hebrew and prayer skills and finding their own space in the Kane Street community. Every Shabbat, except on public holiday weekends, Kane Street offers four Family Services. Family Services are free and open to all, both members and non-members. Parents are always welcome to attend our children’s services. Contact Director of Education & Family Programming Rabbi Valerie Lieber.

Schedule
Each Shabbat morning during the school year we hold family services in the upper floors of the Goldman Educational Center, starting at 11:00am. The entire building is filled with the sound of singing, laughter and learning. We have services for every age range so that kids can get engaged with a group of peers, express their joys, wonder and doubts.

Mini Minyan
Up to age 5, with an adult
11:00-11:45am, Third floor multi-purpose room
A warm, interactive family Shabbat experience with singing, stories, a Torah parade, prayers and movement. We conclude with a Kiddush over challah and juice. Led by Landon Braverman, our Hebrew School Music Director.

Kinder Minyan (formerly Junior Congregation)
Kindergarten-Grade 2
11:00am-12:15pm, Second floor Classroom
Singing,  prayers, movement, and an interactive Torah experience.
Landon Braverman, our Hebrew School Music Director.

Minyan Noar (formerly KC Minyan)
Grades 3-6
11:00am-12:15pm, Chapel
This is a joyful and contemplative family service which helps children begin to navigate Siddur Sim Shalom that we use in the main sanctuary. We sing, learn the traditional choreography of prayers, discuss the themes of prayers and the Torah portion, and enjoy a weekly Torah service or dramatic re-enactment of the weekly Torah portion.
Led by Rabbi Val Lieber.

Holidays and Festivals

Creative and fun children’s holiday programs are offered throughout the Jewish year.

On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we hold lively services for children and their families led by Rabbi Val and other experienced, engaging Jewish family educators. Children hear the shofar, sing t’fillot and enjoy sweet apples and honey. On the afternoon of the second day of Rosh Hashanah, everyone is invited to participate in our Tashlich ceremony at the East River Fulton Ferry Landing with the entire community. Childcare is available during the High Holidays.

Simchat Torah, with its joyous singing and dancing in honor of the Torah, is a holiday of youthful delight. Families are invited to participate in safe and fun rounds of dancing, or hakafot, with the Torah as we cordon off our block on Kane Street and celebrate in the street.

At Chanukkah families are invited to Kane Street’s Community Chanukkah party to sing Chanukkah songs and consume their year’s share of sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts).

Purim at Kane Street is very family friendly. Everyone comes dressed in costume, parents behave like children and together we listen to the Megillah of Esther, sponsor a costume parade and enjoy hamantaschen.

On Yom Ha’atz’ma’ut, Israel Independence Day, we sing in English and Hebrew, dance and celebrate the modern revival of Israel.

15 best football movies

15. “Freaks” (2011)

Three years ago, a Russian farcical film about an unlucky teacher Kolotilov (Konstantin Khabensky), who is forced to coach a hastily recruited children’s football team, instead of marrying his Nadenka (Milla Jovovich), disappointed us with that that she spends too much time in the company of Urgant and Jovovich and does not pay enough attention to young actors and their sports exploits. Children’s sports comedy and rom-com farce, and even with wedding jokes, are badly combined genres, pulling the picture in different directions. But those children’s and football scenes that are in the film are so entertaining that they still make the tape worthy of our hit parade. We don’t have too many children’s movies to ignore Freaks!

14. Green Street Hooligans (2005)

Football hooliganism is an integral but shameful part of sports life, and we hesitated for a long time whether to include such a movie in our hit parade. But since there are hooligans, then let them be with us! And let them be presented not by almost a documentary, like the not-so-famous but classic in Britain film with Gary Oldman “The Firm” and not by the domestic film “Okolofutbola”, which frankly advertises Russian “firms”, but rather ridiculous and not particularly realistic, but but a fascinating American-English production about a Harvard “nerd” (Elijah Wood) who enrolls in a British hooligan gang. A hobbit in the role of a tough gopnik is something with something! Also, “Hooligans” is interesting because it was directed by a German woman, Lexi Alexander, a former world karate champion.

13. The Cup (1999)

A film about football directed by a Tibetan lama?! Yes, there is such a movie in the world. It is clear that Khyentse Norbu did not manage without the help of Western specialists – the presence of previous “enlightened” reincarnations does not make a Tibetan an expert in working with camera and sound. But still, The Cup is precisely a Tibetan, and not a Western film, showing young and elderly Buddhist monks not as detached pillars of faith, but as living people, not alien to simple male joys. And what could be more joy for a man than the World Cup final? And the heroes who are passionate about football, usually shunning high technology, are trying to get a TV and a satellite dish to watch the match France – Brazil (the action of the picture takes place at 1998).

12. “She’s a man!” (She’s the Man, 2006)

There are a number of films in the West where boys and girls play together on teenage football teams. The British, for example, love the 1981 Scottish comedy Gregory’s Girl, where the high school title character falls in love with an athletic beauty who forces him out of the center forward position and forces him to register in goal. We, however, prefer the funnier American romantic slapstick where Amanda Bynes’ character pretends to be a guy to play on the men’s team. Although Bynes carries the whole picture on her shoulders, 2006 was not her year, but the year of her on-screen lover, Channing Tatum. Together with the musical film Take a Step, Andy Fickman’s comedy turned the former stripper into a movie star and an idol of girls’ hearts.

11. Merry Christmas (Joyeux Noël, 2005)

International football is often criticized for stoking nationalist passions. But it’s better to scold a foreign team than to shoot at foreigners with a machine gun and crush them with tanks. And this is what the famous European picture about Christmas Eve 1914 is dedicated to, during which British, French and German soldiers and officers left the trenches and forgot about the First World War for a while in order to congratulate each other on the holiday, listen to music … And, of course, play football. By the way, the generals were then so afraid of this temporary truce that they strictly forbade repeating it, and at 19In the year 15, almost all attempts by opponents to fraternize at Christmas were thwarted. The British commanders were especially zealous, afraid of losing control of the army fighting far from their homeland.

10. “Garpastum” (2008)

“Paper Soldier”, dedicated to the history of Soviet cosmonautics, brought Aleksei German Jr. the director’s “Silver Lion” at the IFF in Venice. However, we prefer the director’s less titled previous production about young Petersburgers who, at 1914 year they are trying to develop football in a country that is entering an era of radical and irreversible change. The conditional prototypes of the main characters of the picture were the legendary Spartak brothers Starostin (who, of course, were Moscow, not St. Petersburg athletes). The word “harpastum” is taken from Latin. So in ancient Rome they called the ball game, which, judging by its descriptions, was something like the current rugby. Like many other things, the Romans borrowed this game from the ancient Greeks.

9. “Goal!” (Goal, 2005!)

Zidane, Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Postiga, Roberto Carlos, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Thierry Henry, Patrick Kluivert… When a movie is like this, it’s far from complete! – a list of star cameos, the hand of any football fan reaches for her wallet to buy a disc with “Goal!” and put it in a conspicuous place. Yes, from a cinematic point of view, this is a completely banal sports drama about a talented American “Latinos” player (Mexican Kuno Becker), who manages to overcome all obstacles (including asthma attacks) and break into the British Newcastle United. But the main thing in the film is not the traditional plot twists and turns, but the fact that Danny Cannon shot the picture in collaboration with FIFA, and therefore “Goal!” chock-full of cameos and depictions of real-life confrontations between real teams. In order to finally “kill” the fans, in 2007 Jaume Collet-Serra filmed the sequel “Goal 2”, in which the hero of the first tape moves to Real Madrid and fights in the Champions League – toe to toe with Beckham and Casillas.

8. Bend It Like Beckham (2002)

Unlike Goal!, there are only two football star cameos in this film, and among them there is no title super player, but only lesser-known British athletes Gary Lineker and Alan Hansen (Beckham appears in the film either in archival footage or in the performance of a double). But “Play…” does not particularly need men in boots. This is a girl comedy about a British girl from a Punjabi Sikh family (Parminder Nagra), who, secretly from her parents, plays an “unwomanly” sport. In addition to the prize for the best comedian at the International Women’s Film Festival in Bordeaux, Nagra was awarded the FIFA President’s Award for her role in “Play …”. Nevertheless, it was not she who made it to the big stars, but her on-screen friend Keira Knightley. It is easy to guess why…

7. United. The Munich Tragedy (United, 2011)

In 1958, British football suffered a terrible loss. When trying to take off from Munich Airport, the plane of the Manchester United team crashed while flying home after the match in Belgrade. Many players died, head coach Matt Busby almost died in the hospital. Observers believed that the team would not take such a blow. But she survived. Reservists, players from the junior group and hastily signed new players under second coach Jimmy Murphy showed a game worthy of the MU name. This tragic and glorious story is dedicated to a British television movie released three years ago (it was released as a motion picture outside of Britain), in which David Tennant (the tenth Doctor from Doctor Who) played Murphy, and one of the football players was Sam Claflin, now known for ” Hunger Games. ”

6. “Football fever” (Fever Pitch, 1997)

A man, a woman and a team on the way to the championship title is a love triangle worse than those usually found in soap operas! In the British romantic comedy, partly based on the life and experiences of writer Nick Hornby, the main character (Colin Firth) falls in love just as his beloved Arsenal, after a long hiatus, gets another shot at the championship. What will be stronger – an almost pathological addiction to football or attachment to a woman (Ruth Gemmell) who does not approve of sports fanaticism? In addition to the combination of love and football events, “Fever” is curious in that Mark Strong – now a popular “villain” actor in Hollywood and British films – played in it a lightweight comedic role of the protagonist’s friend.

5. “Coach” (Mike Bassett: England Manager, 2001)

The life of a coach of the English national football team is hard and unsightly! Especially if he is an Englishman, and a controversial victory for him is a matter not only of personal, but also of patriotic prestige. And if he also comes not from the Premier League, but from the first division, then his life completely turns into a series of off-scale experiences and ridiculous incidents. They are the subject of a British satirical comedy about Mike Bassett (Ricky Tomlinson), the former coach of a minor Norwich City team, who leads the English team to victories (or defeats, or somewhere else …). After all the more famous coaches shied away from this “honorable” duty. The Steve Barron film is shot in mockumentary style and many of Bassett’s players are based on real British football stars.

4. “Escape to Victory” (1981)

The “allies” lack their military achievements, so they steal ours! In Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino “appropriated” a spy actress introduced into Hitler’s entourage (the prototype of Diana Kruger’s heroine was Olga Chekhova, who worked for Stalin’s intelligence), and in Escape to Victory, John Huston borrowed the famous story of the Kyiv “death match”, transferring action in a German camp for Western prisoners of war. In a good way, for this it would be worth disqualifying the American film and including our recent “Match” with Bezrukov instead of it in the hit parade. But the commands are too powerful in it. The Getaway cast was led by Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone, while the football team was led by Bobby Moore and the great Pele himself. The latter not only demonstrated his tricks on the screen, but also staged the “football choreography” of the tape.

3. “The Damned United” (The Damned United, 2009)

In 1974, the talented British coach Brian Clough led the highly successful Leeds United team at the time and lasted only 44 days in this post. How did it happen that Clough was fired almost immediately after he settled into the team? Five years ago, Tom Hooper, the future director of The King’s Speech, proposed his version of those long-standing, but still exciting events for fans. There is little football in his feed, but it paints a convex picture of those behind-the-scenes games and ideological confrontations that the life of any serious professional team cannot do without. The film was exceptionally praised by critics (in particular, for the brilliant performance of Martin Sheen as Clough), but the family of the late coach said that “in fact, it was not at all like that.”

2. Mean Machine (2001)

Actors from early Guy Ritchie hits play football? Leave us a place in the stands! Somewhere closer to Vinnie Jones, who played the former captain of the British football team, who goes to prison and trains a team of prisoners for a friendly match with a team of guards. You don’t need to watch this tragicomedy to imagine how “friendly” their match is. It is clear that this is another variation on the theme of the “death match”, but since the “Bone Breaker” does not steal military exploits from the USSR, then we have no complaints about it. There is only one joy about the bright picture, where, along with sports actors like Jones and Jason Statham, acting athletes like Charlie Heartfield from Sheffield United starred.

1. Killer Football (Shaolin Soccer, 2001)

The craziest, the most unpredictable, the most special effects, the most dizzying, the most hilarious. .. Excellent epithets for describing Stephen Chow’s kungfu comedy can be multiplied endlessly. Yes, she does not respect the rules of football much and does not respect the laws of physics at all. But let real athletes follow the rules and laws, and we expect incredible Shaolin football from Hong Kong actors. And this is exactly the kind of fantastic martial arts-rich sport that we got from Chow in 2001. Before Football, this actor and director was well known in his homeland, but in 2001 he entered the international level. And all that was required was to assemble a team of screen kungfu masters on the screen and send them to play in the open championship for the Hong Kong Cup. Where, of course, no one is surprised by athletes who can fly or move at superhuman speed.
