Sock puppet covenant renewal

Another zoomified ceremony from the spring was the Temple Beth Am 10th grade covenant renewal, normally a huge deal in which each 10th grader makes a statement about what being Jewish means to them. This typically follows the class trip to New York, an extremely formative experience of Jewish America; but that trip would have been in early April, and perhaps you remember what New York was like in April 2020, so, no. May it be next year. Meanwhile, the Temple reimagined the covenant renewal service with recorded contributions. Jordan and Ian put together this sock puppet skit, starring "I-ock" and "Joppet." Jordan said, "The script by itself would have been boring, but the sock puppets really elevate it," and I couldn't agree more. 



That's the trimmed version, which we sent to the temple for sharing. Below is the "uncut" version, which has my favorite part -- they are talking beforehand just as themselves ("From the top?"), but Ian is still talking through the sock puppet! Love it so much.
