Kumu; The Second Annual Kulanu Musical


On May 17th, 2009 Kulanu’s Sunday Recreation Program “musical production” KUMU, showcased the music and movement that has been enjoyed all year by our participants and volunteers. The name of the musical, “Kumu” (stand up) was Kulanu’s way of reminding everyone to “stand up and make a difference”.

This years’ production took its inspiration from the Off Broadway hit STOMP. The production, conducted in front of parents of participants and volunteers was filled with music and beats created by garbage cans and handmade instruments.

For the past 10 years hundreds of children from our communities have been getting up early on Sundays to attend our program. As a result, Kulanu’s Sunday Morning Activity Inclusion Program has impacted the lives of children with disabilities and community volunteers simply by spending dedicated time to have fun together by attending movement classes, adaptive sports, therapeutic music, arts and crafts, and learning about Jewish holidays and heritage. To find out more about the Sunday Program or are interested in volunteering, please call Leiby Brill at 516-569-6664. We look forward to seeing you there!
