Meet our new volunteer Aiden.

Aiden is an almost 9 years old boy with high functioning autism.

Aiden’s mom is a member of the OneShul community, and asked Aiden if he would like to contribute to our Passover section at PunkTorah. So Aiden, Mr. Craftsman Extraordinaire, built us the Exodus narrative…out of Star Wars legos.

Aiden’s mom sent us a message:

“Aiden has so many wonderful questions and says he is amazed he is part of something so awesome.”

Aiden, thank YOU for being so awesome!

Sincerely,

Yours friends at PunkTorah

    My kids loved seeing this, they’ve been inspired to try their own lego re-enactments :) thanks for sharing!

    Great inspiration for my 11 y.o. Asperger boy who would only stick to instructions when it comes to build with Legos! Thank you, Aidan! Chazak u’Baruch!<3
