Crafting Legacies – Building Bridges through Woodworking

Intergenerational projects play a vital role in fostering connections across age groups, addressing social challenges, and enriching community life. The Cummings Centre continues to bring together younger and older generations through shared activities, creating opportunities for mutual learning, understanding, and collaboration.

In March 2025, in partnership with the Cummings Centre, Herzliah students proudly wrapped up their journey in the “Crafting Legacies – Bridging Generations through the Art of Woodworking” project. This unique intergenerational experience brought them together with senior volunteers to share skills, stories, and laughter – but most of all, they built unforgettable memories. A heartfelt thank you to Herzliah, the first student cohort, our funders — the Jewish Community Foundation (supporting the Nova Grant) and the Canadian Heritage Community Cultural Action Fund — as well as all the dedicated mentors and organizers who made this meaningful experience possible.
